DISINFO: The US are preparing for nuclear weapons testing
SUMMARY
The US are preparing for nuclear weapons testing.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative on the US' nuclear ambitions. Similar cases are here and here. The Partial Test Ban Treaty or Treaty Banning Nuclear Weapon Tests in Atmosphere, In Outer Space and Under Water was signed by the US in 1963. Treaty prohibited all test detonations of nuclear weapons except for those conducted undergrounds. Later in 1996 was signed Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty that bans all nuclear explosions, for both civilian and military purposes, in all environments. US has not ratified CNTBT, but announced a moratorium on nuclear testing in 1992.
