The FoodMONITOR is a fully integrated food
					screening system that measures radioactive contamination in food and compares
					the results against regulatory requirements. The FoodMONITOR can be described as
					a small but powerful computer with keyboard and LCD screen further equipped
					with dedicated detectors for gamma radiation plus some auxiliary sensors such
					as a receiver for the NAVSTAR global positioning system(GPS). All data acquired
					by the sensors are recorded, processed and evaluated by a sophisticated
					software that reports meaningful results even when operated by personnel with
					minimal training.
