It is very important to understand the impact of radioxenon emitted from nuclear facilities on the CTBT radionuclide stations for improvement of detection ability of underground nuclear tests. As part of study on the impact of radioxenon emitted from these facilities on the CTBT radionuclide stations, the 2nd ATM Challenge 2016 was carried out to quantify the impact of radioxenon from the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) radiopharmaceutical plant in Australia by ATM analysis. JAEA/NDC participated in the 2nd ATM Challenge 2016 and performed ATM analysis by using the HYSPLIT code and the NCEP GDAS meteorological data. We report the analysis results.
