RADIOXENON MEASURED AND PREDICTED DETECTIONS FROM SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE MEDICAL ISOTOPE PRODUCTION FACILITIES

摘要

A number of analytical approaches to correlating predicted versus measured ~(133)Xe detections at IMS stations were utilized in this study. Overall, results indicate that radioxenon detection can be reasonably well predicted based on stack emissions data and atmospheric transport calculations. While this does not remove medical isotopes as a concern for treaty monitoring, stack monitoring data is required to reduce needless false positive detections.
