Senator Murray joins representatives of the Port of Tacoma, Coast Guard, Customs, DNDO, port workers, and members of the Tacoma business community to celebrate the placement of the Intermodal Radiation Test Center at the Port of Tacoma. The Intermodal Test Center will pioneer new technology in cargo radiation screening that will allow trains to be screened for radiological materials.

The center was established as part of Senator Murray's landmark SAFE Ports Act which was signed into law last October. Murray also secured $5 million to fund the center in the 2007 Emergency Supplemental bill which is being debated in Congress.
