The release of radioactive Xenon from Medical Isotope Production facilities (MIPs) presents a challenge to the interpretation of data from the noble gas monitoring network of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), as these MIP releases may mask the releases of xenon from underground nuclear tests. The Source Term Analysis of Xenon (STAX) project is a new effort to better understand the radioxenon background in the environment.

ISTI provides rapid earthquake notification in key states which are further validated by the seismologist on watch. Operators receive data tailored to their acreage & operation.
Read MoreISTI’s seismic monitoring systems provide critical data on building behavior during earthquakes, improve understanding of structural stability, lead to better building codes, and help satisfy common government requirements for seismic instrumentation when monitoring earthquakes in critical or large buildings.
