Description
As part of the Xenon and Environmental Radionuclide Analysis at Sizewell (XENAS) experimental campaign, a UK-based Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR) nuclear power station (Sizewell B) has provided access allowing measurement of several radionuclide monitoring process routes. This work aims to provide an overview of the experiment, discuss its motivations, present the results obtained to date and outline its future direction. Measurement campaigns such as this provide useful insight for the nuclear explosion monitoring community and supplement the existing characterisation of sources of manmade radionuclides relevant to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT).
