TY - JOUR T1 - Analysis of fission products-- a method for verification of a CTBT during on-site inspections AU - Li Bin PY - 1998 T2 - Science & Global Security SP - 195 EP - 207 VL - 7 IS - 2 N2 - If under a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty a suspicious event can be accurately located, it should be possible to sample possible fission products through an on-site inspection. Such sampling, focused on analysis of the relative abundance of a few key isotopes, can be used to determine the time of a nuclear explosion to an uncertainty of a few hours or less even if the measurements are made several weeks after the event. The sampling could also reliably distinguish nuclear explosions from a deposit of nuclear waste. UR - http://scienceandglobalsecurity.org/archive/sgs07libin.pdf 0
