After four decades of nuclear weapons testing by the Soviet Union at the Semipalatinsk Test Site in Kazakhstan, significant amounts of nuclear materials were discarded and left behind. Until the late 1990’s, these materials were forgotten until tri-lateral cooperation between the United States, Russia and Kazakhstan located and secured these threats to prevent their proliferation. One of the most secretive and unheralded efforts of the Nunn-Lugar #CooperativeThreatReduction program, and the signature deliverable of the 2012 Nuclear Security Summit, #SecuringSemipalatinsk quietly made the world safer from the threat of nuclear terrorism. #CTR30 #USKZ30 #KZUS30
