Advancing the Support to the Radionuclide Monitoring Verification Technology of the CTBT with the 1st Nuclear Explosion Signal Screening Open Intercomparison Exercise 202
Abstract:<p>Radionuclide monitoring is one of the verification technologies of the global verification system of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). This global network of sampling stations senses the air 24/7 for suspect noble gases and/or particulates. For noble gases this task is non-trivial due to the ever-present and highly variable background levels of the four radioxenon isotopes that are relevant for CTBT monitoring. An extensive, global effort was initiated to better estimate the ci… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
