to this Protocol.  The auxiliary stations shall fulfil the technical and operational requirements specified in the Operational Manual for Seismological Monitoring and the International Exchange of Seismological Data.  Data from the auxiliary stations may at any time be requested by the International Data Centre and shall be immediately available through on‑line computer connections.
C.  RADIONUCLIDE MONITORING
9. Each State Party undertakes to cooperate in an international exchange of data on radionuclides in the atmosphere to assist in the verification of compliance with this Treaty.  This cooperation shall include the establishment and operation of a global network of radionuclide monitoring stations and certified laboratories.  The network shall provide data in accordance with agreed procedures to the International Data Centre.
10. The network of stations to measure radionuclides in the atmosphere shall comprise an overall network of 80 stations, as specified in Table 2‑A of Annex 1 to this Protocol.  All stations shall be capable of monitoring for the presence of relevant particulate matter in the atmosphere.  Forty of these stations shall also be capable of monitoring for the presence of relevant noble gases upon the entry into force of this Treaty.  For this purpose the Conference, at its initial session, shall approve a recommendation by the Preparatory Commission as to which 40 stations from Table 2‑A of Annex 1 to this Protocol shall be capable of noble gas monitoring.  At its first regular annual session, the Conference shall consider and decide on a plan for implementing noble gas monitoring capability throughout the network.  The Director‑General shall prepare a report to the Conference on the modalities for such implementation.  All monitoring stations shall fulfil the technical and operational requirements specified in the Operational Manual for Radionuclide Monitoring and the International Exchange of Radionuclide Data.
11. The network of radionuclide monitoring stations shall be supported by laboratories, which shall be certified by the Technical Secretariat in accordance with the relevant operational manual for the performance, on contract to the Organization and on a fee‑for‑service basis, of the analysis of samples from radionuclide monitoring stations.  Laboratories specified in Table 2‑B of Annex 1 to this Protocol, and appropriately equipped, shall, as required, also be drawn upon by the Technical Secretariat to perform additional analysis of samples from radionuclide monitoring stations.  With the agreement of the Executive Council, further laboratories may be certified by the Technical Secretariat to perform the routine analysis of samples from manual monitoring stations where necessary.  All certified laboratories shall provide the results of such analysis to the International Data Centre, and in so doing shall fulfil the technical and operational requirements specified in the Operational Manual on Radionuclide Monitoring and the International Exchange of Radionuclide Data.
