US conducts nuclear tests in Nevada after Russian Parliament decides to withdraw from CTBT

Washington/Moscow: The Russian parliament on Wednesday decided to withdraw from the international agreement called the ‘Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty’ (CTBT). Just hours after this decision, the United States conducted nuclear tests in Nevada province. The US Department of Energy shared this information and the use of radioisotopes and chemicals that prove the ‘New Predictive Explosion Model’ is said to be used during this time.

Russian President Vladimir Putin had recently said that our country can start nuclear testing again. In his statement, President Putin also instructed the Russian parliament to complete the process quickly. He also claimed that the Russian fleet had more advanced nuclear weapons than the West. Putin also said that Russia would not take the initiative to continue cooperation on the issue of nuclear weapons against the backdrop of the ongoing activities of the United States .

After this, the Russian parliament approved the proposal to withdraw from the international agreement of ‘CTBT’ and start nuclear testing again. Analysts had warned that Russia’s exit from CTBT would be a ‘warning signal’ for the United States. However, the United States has shocked the international think tanks and analysts by conducting a new nuclear test just hours after the approval of the Russian parliament.

In the year 1996, the ‘Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty’ (CTBT) agreement was approved by the international community. According to this agreement, nuclear explosions for military and civilian purposes are prohibited. Both the United States and Russia signed this agreement and the Russian parliament had approved this agreement in the year 2000. However, this agreement has not yet been approved by the US Congress.

A US official has claimed that its new nuclear test will help reduce the global nuclear threat by improving the detection of underground nuclear explosions.
