The system, capable of automatically detecting and giving warning about traces of radioactive materials, will be located at the immigration and customs areas of the airport.
It is expected to enable the customs office to uncover nuclear materials and other radioactive sources hidden in passenger baggage.
It is part of the nuclear security project that IAEA is deploying to help Vietnam effectively deal with risks of illegal imports of nuclear materials and other radioactive sources in an attempt to prevent possible nuclear terrorism in the country.
