15 Noble gases: the smoking gun of an underground nuclear explosion An underground nuclear test creates seismic waves, possibly hydro-acoustic /infra-sound coupling Radionuclide monitoring provides the only direct method with the potential to establish whether a nuclear explosion has occurred A contained underground nuclear explosion may emit radioactive noble gases into the atmosphere How? 3 Scenarios Early venting due to high pressure of the explosion and other dynamic effects (pushes gas through cracks and fissures in the bedrock) Venting due to opening of tunnels or drilling of holes etc. for measurements of the test can happen days till weeks after the event Sucking of gases (among others, radioxenon) from deposits in the walls of cracks and fissures by low pressure weather systems Provisional Technical Secretariat Page 15
