Council Decision 2020/901 of 29 June 2020 on Union Support for the Activities of the Preparatory Commission of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO) in Order to Strengthen Its Monitoring and Verification Capabilities and in the Framework of the Implementation of the EU Strategy Against Proliferation of WMD

This project supports:

  • Maintenance of certified auxiliary seismic stations, part of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO) International Monitoring System (IMS);
  • Engagement with State Signatories, including technical system validation and testing using Cloud technology for phase 3 of the International Data Centre (IDC) Reengineering;
  • Development of the Enhanced High-Resolution Atmospheric Transport model;
  • A study on possible performance improvements of FLEXPART simulations through Graphics Processing Unit acceleration;
  • Development of a background estimator tool to quantify radio xenon contributions to detections at IMS stations;
  • Development of a source-term estimator tool;
  • Provision of helpdesk and upgrading support to the virtual exploitation data centre platform;
  • Continuation of the radio xenon mobile measurement campaigns in different regions of the world;
  • Provision of technical assistance including integrated capacity building and outreach such as enhancement of seismic, hydroacoustic and infrasound (SHI) automatic processing capabilities in NDC-in-a-Box and simplified, standards-compliant IDC products and services access for National Data Centres (NDCs);
  • Training, workshops and follow-up for emerging NDCs in developing countries worldwide, and acquisition and maintenance of capacity building systems for the NDCs;
  • The evolution and homogenisation of the multi-waveform technology processing and interactive system; and
  • Organisation of open source seismic impact regional introductory courses for two Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) geographical regions.
