Abstract:
Trafficking of radioactive material, particularly special nuclear material (SNM), has long been a worldwide concern. To interdict this material the US government has installed radiation portal monitors (RPMs) around the globe. Building materials surrounding an RPM can greatly effect the detector’s background radiation levels due to Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM). In some cases this effect is so great that the initial RPM setup had to be rebuilt.

For verifying the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), different monitoring technologies (seismic, infrasound, hydroacoustic, and radionuclide detection) are combined. The monitoring of radioactive xenon isotopes is one of the principal methods for the determination of the nuclear nature of an explosion. After an underground nuclear detonation the radioxenon isotopes [superscript 131m]Xe, [superscript 133m]Xe, ¹³³Xe, and ¹³⁵Xe, and the radioargon isotope ³⁷Ar have an increased probability of detection. In order to effectively utilize these isotopes as indicators of nuclear testing, an

Abstract:
Radiation can be found naturally or can be created by human-made artificial sources. Radioactive unstable elements divide to become stable, they release the excess energy in their nuclei to their surroundings by producing different types of radiation. This uranium, radium, thorium, potassium, etc. on earth. Cosmic rays coming from the sun and outer space, together with unstable elements, create a certain level of natural radiation in the environment. Therefore, natural radiation comes from many naturally occurring radioactive substances found in the soil, water, air and body in the environment
