In order to better understand potential backgrounds of Comprehensive-Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty on-site inspection relevant gases, a sampling campaign was performed near Canadian Nuclear Laboratories in the Ottawa River Valley, a major source of environmental radioxenon. First of their kind measurements of atmospheric radioxenon imprinted into the shallow subsurface from an atmospheric pressure driven force were made using current on-site inspection techniques. Both atmospheric and subsurface gas samples were measured and analyzed to determine radioxenon concentrations. These measurements indicate that under specific sampling conditions, on the order of ten percent of the atmospheric radioxenon concentration may be measured via subsurface sampling.
