1- 10:30 / 12:30: Building Effective Radiological Detection Architectures
Design the Architecture
Every mission is different. Every threat is different. How do you design the right detection architecture?
Description
Designing an effective radiological detection architecture begins long before selecting equipment. It starts with understanding the mission, assessing potential threats and identifying the operational capabilities required to achieve the desired level of protection.
This seminar introduces the fundamental principles of radiological security architecture and presents a structured methodology for designing layered detection systems adapted to borders, transportation hubs, critical infrastructure, military installations and major public events.
Using operational examples and lessons learned from real deployments, participants will discover how mission requirements drive architecture design and why different scenarios require different security strategies.

Deploy the Architecture
How do architectural principles become operational protection strategies?
Description
Every operational environment presents unique challenges. Protecting an airport differs significantly from securing a border crossing, a critical infrastructure or a major international event.
Building on the architectural principles introduced during the previous session, this seminar explores how layered radiological security strategies are applied to different operational environments. Through deployment examples and real-world case studies, participants will discover how technology, operational procedures and coordination combine to create effective protection strategies adapted to each mission.
The session concludes in the exhibition area, where participants will discover the Mirion solutions presented during the seminar through live demonstrations, providing a practical illustration of the operational concepts discussed.

Connect the Architecture
Detection is only the beginning. Information creates operational superiority.
Description
Modern radiological security relies on far more than individual detectors. Effective response requires connecting multiple sensors, platforms and response teams into a common operational picture that supports rapid, informed decision-making.
This seminar presents Mirion's vision of Global Radiological Situational Awareness, demonstrating how data from fixed systems, mobile platforms, wearable detectors and other operational assets can be integrated to improve coordination, accelerate response and enhance operational effectiveness.
The session concludes in the exhibition area, where participants will discover the Mirion solutions presented during the seminar through live demonstrations, providing a practical illustration of the operational concepts discussed.
