Scenarios about 'nuclear testing'
Nuclear testing refers to experiments conducted to determine the effectiveness, yield, and impact of nuclear weapons. These tests, conducted by nuclear powers from 1945 to present day with varying restrictions, have left environmental and health legacies across testing sites from Nevada to Pacific atolls. In alternate history scenarios, different testing programs, international agreements, or technological developments can dramatically alter geopolitical power balances and environmental outcomes.
What If The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Was Ratified?
Exploring the alternate timeline where the United States Senate ratified the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty in 1999, potentially reshaping global nuclear non-proliferation efforts and international security for decades to come.
What If The Limited Test Ban Treaty Never Happened?
Exploring the alternate timeline where the 1963 treaty banning atmospheric nuclear testing failed, leading to continued radioactive fallout, accelerated arms race, and fundamentally different environmental and geopolitical developments into the 21st century.
What If Underground Nuclear Testing Never Stopped?
Exploring the alternate timeline where international efforts to ban nuclear testing failed, allowing underground nuclear detonations to continue into the 21st century with profound implications for global politics, the environment, and nuclear proliferation.
