摘要

This study assesses the potential impacts of two proposed novel medical isotope production facilities (MIPFs) by Niowave, Inc. and SHINE Technologies, LLC on the International Monitoring System (IMS) noble gas monitoring regime. By integrating publicly available data into software models, we simulated the release, decay, transport, and detection of noble gases from these facilities to IMS stations. The results of these simulations indicate that for releases from small, novel MIPFs like these, release magnitudes and facility location are likely to have a far more significant impact on IMS detections than differences in the facilities’ nuclear processes.
