RIO DE JANEIRO, July 29, 2016 /CNW/ -- Over 250 Nuctech security
scanners have been installed by the end of this week ahead of the
upcoming 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The scanners will be
responsible for 90 percent of security checks at the Rio Games and
acceptance testing by Brazil Judiciary will begin in preparation
for over a million security checks throughout the events.
Nuctech scanners will provide security for the four major game
venues – Barra, Deodoro, the
Maracana and Copacabana – as well as the Olympic village, with over
2,000 local security staff trained in their operation. 100,000
spectators are expected to flock to the Maracana stadium for the
opening and closing ceremonies alone.
Nuctech brings two major models to the Rio Olympics, the
CX6040BI X-ray scanner for personal belongings and the CX100100T
X-ray scanner for cargo checks. These two models both use a low
radiation X-ray imaging system with upgraded X-ray generator, while
an improved detector is able to scan at higher resolution with an
accurate image algorithm.
An alarm will automatically go off if explosive items, hidden
cameras or items that cannot be penetrated by the X-ray are
detected and the system is capable of identifying and color
coordinating both organic and inorganic items effectively. To
ensure a safe environment for the Games, both the equipment and an
onsite technical team will operate 24 hours a day.
"As a supplier of high-tech security products and services,
Nuctech's vision and ultimate goal is 'creating a safer world'," said
Zhiqiang Chen, CEO of Nuctech.
"With the immense attention and participation of athletes and
audiences from all over the world, Nuctech is honored and more than
willing to dedicate our best security services for such a
prestigious international event."
