The International Monitoring System (IMS) of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty includes a network of stations and laboratories for collection and analysis of radioactive aerosols. Alternative approaches to IMS operations are considered as a method of enhancing treaty verification. Ultra-low background (ULB) detection promises the possibility of improvements to IMS minimum detectable activities (MDAs) well below the current approach, requiring MDA < or = 30 microBq/m(3) of air for (140)Ba, or about 10(6) fissions per daily sample.
《全面禁止核试验条约》的国际监测系统(IMS)包括一个用于收集和分析放射性气溶胶的站点和实验室网络。人们认为,作为加强条约核查的一种方法,可以采用国际监测系统的替代运作方式。超低本底(ULB)探测有望改进国际监测系统的最低可探测活度(MDA),使其远低于目前的方法,要求对(140)Ba的空气最低可探测活度≤30微贝克勒尔/立方米,或每天的样本约10^6次裂变。
