Nuclear Test Ban Treaty
The Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (1963) was signed in Moscow by the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom, prohibiting nuclear weapons tests in the atmosphere, in outer space, and underwater.
The Nuclear Test Ban Treaty refers to international agreements aimed at prohibiting nuclear weapons tests. By December 1960, Eisenhower and Nikita Khrushchev had made steady progress in drafting a comprehensive treaty banning all nuclear tests, and such testing was suspended by both nations until September 1961. This success led to an overall heightened sensitivity about nuclear proliferation.1
