In FY 2012, the program plans to complete installations at three additional Megaports (increasing
the number of completed ports to 48). This involves providing site surveys, engineering
assessments, radiation detection equipment design procurement and installation. Sustainability
support including equipment, maintenance, system checkups, and diagnostics and supplemental
training and technical collaboration will be provided for approximately 29 of the sites which have
completed installations. In addition, NNSA will continue to work with DHS and other NNSA
components to test new technologies that may be used to scan transshipped containers, including
mobile technologies and crane-based technologies. The NNSA will continue to pursue cooperation
with international partners interested in participating in the Megaports initiative.
