American troops had begun training Cambodian customs officials to use radiation-detection equipment installed at Sihanoukville Port in a bid to prevent terrorism, a port official said yesterday.
Kim Chhun, the director-general of Sihanoukville Port, said the new equipment would prevent smuggling of nuclear or radioactive materials from Cambodia to the United States.
The technology and training would prevent terrorism not only in the US but in many other countries, he said.
The equipment had been installed as part of a 2009 agreement between the US and Cambodia to prevent the shipment of nuclear and other radioactive materials through Sihanoukville Port, the US National Nuclear Security Administration said last week.
