Intercomparison Experiments of Systems for the Measurement of Xenon Radionuclides in the Atmosphere

Abstract

Radioactive xenon monitoring is one of the main technologies used for detection of underground nuclear explosions. Precise and reliable measurements of 131mXe, 133gXe, 133mXe, and 135gXe are required as part of the International Monitoring System (IMS) for compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT).
