This document will list and describe hardware and software guidelines for the Source Term
Analysis of Xenon (STAX) project. This document is intended to be technically at a high-level and
therefore is not intended to define every detail related to particular hardware and software designs.
Hardware and software providers will use this document as guidance for their specific designs, and any
equipment provided to the STAX project should be based on these guidelines. This document was
developed from technical conversations that took place at the STAX kickoff workshop. The attendees of
this workshop are an international group of experts, including hardware and software providers as well
as data users from NDC’s and the International Data Centre (IDC).
