After performing multi-model exercises in 2015 and 2016, a comprehensive Xe-133 atmospheric transport modeling challenge was organized in 2019. For evaluation measured samples for the same time frame were gathered from four International Monitoring System stations located in Europe and North America with overall considerable influence of IRE and/or CNL emissions. As a lesion learnt from the 2nd ATM-Challenge participants were prompted to work with controlled and harmonized model set ups to make runs more comparable, but also to increase diversity. Effects of transport errors, not properly characterized remaining emitters and long IMS sampling times (12 to 24 hours) undoubtedly interfere with the effect of high-quality IRE and CNL stack data. An ensemble based on a few arbitrary submissions is good enough to forecast the Xe-133 background at the stations investigated. The effective ensemble size is below five.

It is very important to understand the impact for CTBT stations caused by radioxenon emitted from medical isotope production facilities for detection of underground nuclear tests. Predictions of the impact on six CTBT radionuclide stations in the Southern Hemisphere of radioxenon emitted from the medical isotope production facility in Australia were carried out by participants from ten nations using ATM (Atmospheric Transport Modeling) based on the emission data of radioxenon from this facility, as part of study on impact of radioxenon emitted from medical isotope production facilities on CTBT radionuclide stations.

In early 2018, two mobile noble gas measurement systems were deployed and have started measurement at Horonobe and Mutsu in Japan. Together with a third mobile system that will be deployed at Fukuoka, Japan, in spring 2019, and the operating IMS noble gas system at station RN38, Takasaki, Japan, this creates a high density configuration of noble gas measurement systems. The objective of this configuration is to generate a database of detections which will be used to develop and test methods for better understanding the contributions of known sources from across Eurasia. Contributions from these sources are frequently observed at IMS station RN38. The high density configuration will provide a framework to test and optimize source location algorithms and to better understand level C episodes, specifically at JPX38. The three mobile noble gas measurement systems used in this experiment and their operation are externally funded. The planned duration of this experiment is two years.
