Summary: | The Integrated Field Exercise (IFE14) was conducted from November 3, 2014 through December 9, 2014 in Jordan. This was an exercise to test the capabilities for On-Site Inspection (OSI) as part of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. One important OSI technology is the measurement of noble gasses that are produced within a nuclear explosion. To support IFE14, radioxenon samples and radioargon samples were created at The University of Texas at Austin TRIGA reactor facility. The goal was to produce a mixed sample containing
131m
Xe,
133
Xe, and
37
Ar in activity ratios consistent with the nuclear explosion scenario defined for the exercise. |
