Text
The Limited Test Ban Treaty, which was signed on 5 August 1963 in Moscow by the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union and the United States and came into force on 10 October 1963, prevents the signatory states from carrying out nuclear explosions in the atmosphere, in outer space and under water. Underground explosions are not prohibited as long as they do not cause radioactive waste outside the territorial limits of the state responsible for the explosion.
