This Commentary evaluates health protection and safety issues specifically for the use of active detection technology (ADT) security systems. It addresses important factors in the design and testing of ADT systems that must be given attention prior to their deployment in maritime or land-based operational settings. This Commentary also addresses issues related to the possible future use of ADT security screening systems such as potential exposures to radiation from ADT systems to the health of operating personnel, bystanders, and others in the inspected areas; design and operational factors that must be considered in assessing the safe and efficient operation of ADT systems; and radiation protection design considerations, engineering controls, and operational practices and procedures that must be considered in ADT system design and deployment.
