The problem of non-proliferation of special nuclear materials remains actual, so it is required to study new technologies and perspective materials for ensuring radiation monitoring at checkpoints. In this article application of radiation portal monitors of special nuclear materials is reviewed considering features of physical protection systems of nuclear facilities. Russian and foreign experience of radiation portal monitors design is summarized. A number of means to improve design of radiation portal monitors of special nuclear materials were offered. Also problem and important role of materials research is indicated considering development of radiation monitoring technologies.

High voltage TEMs were introduced commercially thirty years ago, with the installations of 500 kV Hitachi instruments at the Universities of Nogoya and Tokyo. Since that time a total of 51 commercial instruments, having maximum accelerating potentials of 0.5-3.5 MV, have been delivered. Prices have gone from about a dollar per volt for the early instruments to roughly twenty dollars per volt today, which is not so unreasonable considerinp inflation and vastly improved electronics and other improvements. The most expensive HVEM (the 3.5 MV instrument at Osaka University) cost about 5 percent of the construction cost of the USA's latest synchrotron.Table 1 briefly traces the development of HVEM in this country for the materials sciences. There are now only three available instruments at two sites: the 1.2 MeV HVEM at Argonne National Lab, and 1.0 and 1.5 MeV instruments at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. Fortunately, both sites are user facilities funded by DOE for the materials research community.
