Among the most important problems for the world-wide nuclear explosion monitoring is the
interference of naturally occurring and man-made radionuclides. The International …

A global-scale simulation of the 133 Xe atmospheric background is automated at the French
National Data Center (NDC) for the purpose of categorizing the radionuclide measurements …

Abstract The French National Data Center (NDC) uses an automated simulation of the 133
Xe worldwide atmospheric background as one of the means to categorize the radionuclide …

Many countries are considering nuclear power as a means of reducing greenhouse gas
emissions, and the IAEA (IAEA, 2022) has forecasted nuclear power growth rates up to …

Abstract The International Monitoring System is being set up aiming to detect violations of
the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. Suspicious radioxenon detections were made …

Radioxenon can be produced with a high fission yield during a nuclear explosion, making it
an important tracer to demonstrate the nuclear origin of an explosion. For this reason, it is …

Atmospheric transport modeling has been used to interpret the unprecedented number of
multi-isotope detections of radioxenons observed during the six months of the qualification …

The radionuclides part of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) global
network of International Monitoring System (IMS) is based on the measurement of particles …

Technetium-99m, the decay product of molybdenum-99, is the most used medical isotope in
diagnostic imaging. The future disruptions of molybdenum-99 supply, due to the final shut …

In the early years of nuclear explosion monitoring, experts used downwind detections with
meaningful ratios of radioactive species to identify an explosion. Today's reality is sparse …
