In the case of software, acceptance testing performed by the customer is known as user acceptance testing (UAT), end user testing, site (acceptance) testing, or field (acceptance) testing.

In 1962, France's early nuclear testing ground of Algeria became independent and the Moruroa atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago was selected as the new testing site tests were conducted underground after 1974.

Kazakhstan has set a commendable example by voluntarily eliminating its nuclear arsenal, the fourth largest in the world, and shutting down the Semipalatinsk nuclear testing ground, the site of nearly 500 nuclear explosions.

NUCLEAR TESTING DATED 5 OCTOBER 1993

It is important that all the Central Asian countries decided to sign the Treaty in Semipalatinsk the former nuclear testing site where the former Soviet nuclear programme was realized.

18. The international community was already aware of the man made disasters of the Aral Sea and the Semipalatinsk nuclear testing site in Kazakhstan.

Prohibition of testing of nuclear explosive devices

Amchitka is no longer used for nuclear testing.

Nigeria supports the total elimination of nuclear testing.

(e) Prohibition of testing of nuclear explosive devices

The Conference affirms that observance of the existing moratorium on nuclear testing should not substitute for a comprehensive ban on nuclear weapon testing.

Nigeria believes, however, that observance of the existing moratorium on nuclear testing should not substitute for a comprehensive ban on nuclear weapon testing.

In February 2005, the countries of that region had finalized a draft treaty and had agreed to sign it at the former Soviet nuclear testing site, Semipalatinsk.

The ban on nuclear testing was another fundamental component.

Article 4. Prohibition of testing of nuclear explosive devices

China has always exercised great restraint in nuclear testing.

36. The Forum welcomed the extension by the United States of its moratorium on nuclear testing, and the continuation by other nuclear weapons States (except China) of their nuclear testing moratoriums.

He had indicated that the French nuclear testing would continue.

The unilateral decision of the nuclear weapon States to halt nuclear testing was universally applauded.

Also, my delegation applauds the restraint by nuclear weapon States in testing their nuclear devices.

My delegation welcomes the commitment of nuclear weapon States to a continuing moratorium on nuclear testing.

Our objective must be a comprehensive treaty banning nuclear testing forever.

Nuclear testing in the Pacific is not part of our vocabulary.

The recent moratorium on nuclear testing introduced by certain nuclear weapon States can be called a step forward, in the light of the fact that nuclear testing itself is the most dangerous nuclear arms race among the nuclear Powers and a major source of nuclear proliferation.

For well over two decades, including during a period when an atmospheric nuclear testing programme was being conducted in our region, New Zealand has vigorously opposed nuclear testing.

(b) To prohibit in its territory the testing of nuclear explosive devices

We also look forward to an indefinite ban on all nuclear testing.

Attainment of that goal would be assisted if all the nuclear Powers observed the continued moratorium on nuclear testing.

Australia is absolutely opposed to nuclear testing and the participation in the nuclear arms race that this necessarily implies.

Cuba is firmly opposed to nuclear testing through explosions or any other means.

The moratoriums on nuclear testing must be maintained until CTBT entered into force.

As survivors of that legacy, we very much welcomed the nuclear testing moratorium.

(b) To prohibit in its territory the testing of any nuclear explosive device

We expect all nuclear Powers to refrain from testing during the ongoing negotiations.

As we reduce our nuclear stockpiles, the United States has also begun negotiations towards a comprehensive ban on nuclear testing.

Over the half century of the existence of the testing site, over 450 atomic and thermonuclear explosions were conducted.

Nuclear testing of any kind constituted a threat to peace, security and the environment.

Past testing in the atmosphere of nuclear devices still contributes to world wide exposures.

Also, a commendable initiative with respect to a moratorium on nuclear testing took shape.

The existing nuclear testing moratoriums provide an important backdrop to the negotiations in Geneva.

Elimination of the testing of nuclear weapons remained a critical element in the overall process of nuclear disarmament and non proliferation.

With 171 signatories and 112 ratifications, the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) was a powerful international norm against nuclear testing.

We believe that a comprehensive ban on nuclear testing is fundamental in preventing the horizontal and vertical proliferation of nuclear weapons.
