Kromek (AIM: KMK), a radiation detection technology company focusing on the medical, security screening and nuclear markets, is pleased to announce that its next generation standalone radiation detector, D3S-ID, was deployed by European Commission Counter Terrorism Unit of Directorate General for Home Affairs in Brussels.
