Abstract
The first nuclear bomb was detonated in 1945, thus ushering in the nuclear age. A few political leaders quickly saw a need to limit nuclear weapons through international cooperation and the first proposals to do so were made later that same year. The issue of nuclear testing, however, was not formally addressed until 1958 when the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union, initiated talks intended to establish a total ban on that testing (a Comprehensive Test-Ban Treaty or CTBT). Those talks ended unsuccessfully, ostensibly because the participants could not agree on the issue of on-site verification.
