The Israel Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC) has pledged to the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Department of Nuclear Safety and Security
a substantial donation of equipment. The donation comprises of up
to ten units of advanced Personal Radiation Detector and Search
(PDS) which will be provided by the IAEA to a recipient country
in need.
The PDS-100 GN model is the new generation of radiation detectors
produced and manufactured by the Israeli company "ROTEM industries".
The equipment was especially designed for first responders, law
enforcement, customs inspectors and for personal and site security
of critical infrastructure.

This IAEC donation to the IAEA reflects the strong Israeli support
for the transnational efforts to address global challenges in the
field of radiological terror and nuclear security. It attests to
the importance and high priority Israel attaches to this significant
domain in the global arena as indicated in the IAEC Director General
recent address to the IAEA General Conference.
