Question
"The Limited Test Ban Treaty was signed by the United States, the Soviet Union, and Great Britain
in 1963, and it banned all nuclear tests in the atmosphere, in space, or underwater. Because it
stopped the spread of radioactive nuclear material through atmospheric testing and set the
precedent for a new wave of arms control agreements, the Treaty was hailed as a success. The
Treaty was the first of several Cold War agreements on nuclear arms, including the Non-
Proliferation Treaty that was signed in 1968 and the SALT I agreements of 1972. In 1974, the
Threshold Test Ban Treaty returned to the question of nuclear testing by limiting underground
testing of bombs with a yield greater than 150 kilotons.
