It was 46 years ago when the Treaty banning Nuclear Weapon Tests In The Atmosphere, In Outer Space And Under Water was signed at Moscow on August 5, 1963 in order to stop the excessive release of nuclear fallout into the planet’s atmosphere. Testing was still allowed underground for many years after.
