Discussion
Which of the following is the main objective of the Threshold Test Ban Treaty ?
Answer: D
The Threshold Test Ban Treaty bans underground nuclear tests having a yield of more than 150 kilotons.
Signed by the US and the USSR in 1974, the treaty set a 'threshold' of 150 kilotons for underground nuclear weapon tests. Tests in the atmosphere, space and under water had already been banned by the Partial Test Ban Treaty of 1963.
The 100-kiloton figure is wrong, and the treaty has nothing to do with transferring nuclear or space technology to non-nuclear states, which is the concern of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and export-control regimes.
