CTBTO on-site inspection exercise in Veszprém, Hungary (26 May - 7 June 2013)
Fourteen trucks were used to transport equipment and material to the exercise site.
For instance, the white piece of equipment loaded on the truck is a Geoprobe augering machine, which allows inspectors to make boreholes in order to extract samples of subsoil gases. The samples are then analysed in the base of operations for relevant radionuclides, such as xenon and argon, which might serve as indicators of a recent nuclear explosion.
