Description
The nEXO experiment developing a neutrinoless double beta decay search in liquid xenon enriched in $^{136}\text{Xe}$. nEXO is being designed to have extremely low background near the $Q^{0\nu\beta\beta}$ value ($2457~\text{keV}$) to maximize its sensitivity to this rare decay. Many assay techniques are used to find the lowest background materials possible for nEXOs construction including underground Ge, NAA, ICP-MS, Rn counting ESCs, and others. This talk will summarize the nEXO radioactive background control program and these techniques.
