The ENTRANCE Field Tests took place over three weeks in May 2023 in the port of Rijeka, Croatia. The tests, which were made possible by the active involvement and support of Croatia Customs, the Ministry of Interior and project partner the Ruder Boskovic Institute,  provided an opportunity to test and assess the various Non-Intrusive Inspection technologies being developed in the project. Real targets, including guns, explosive, drugs and contraband, as well as live radioactive sources were hidden in commercial containers to ensure the technologies were put through their paces in challenging, real life scenarios.

CEA List is working with Bertin Technologies, both partners in the ENTRANCE project, to develop the world's first re-locatable Radiation Portal Monitor, which combined with photofission, is capable of measuring gamma and neutron radiation in a vehicle travelling at up to 30 km/h. This equates to a significant increase on the current maximum speed that this is possible of only 8 km/h and will be a world first.

The illicit cigarette trade alone costs European governments around €10 billion in lost tax revenues every year.

In addition to cigarette smuggling, drugs and weapons trafficking, duty and other border tax fraud, customs authorities are facing an even more complex landscape with counterfeit products, new psychoactive substances and nuclear and radioactive materials.

ENTRANCE is a European-funded H2020 research project, delivering important and innovative technological solutions to improving customs security.
