| | Test Anxiety: Should America Ratify the CTBT? Video |
 | | But I think actually what we say was the first, even though the CTBT, test ban treaty, was not in force, we saw one of the first benefits of the treaty, which is that it restrained both nations from continued testing because there is already a norm in place against nuclear testing. |
 | | I say that because if a nation wants to develop and build sophisticated weapons, for example, thermonuclear weapons, small enough to put on a ballistic missile, nuclear testing would be very important to that effort, these are really, who wants to go after the ballistic missile threat, the test ban should be on their agenda. |
 | | COLLINA: One should not be concerned that once the test ban treaty is in force with the verification system in place, the nations will be able to conduct candescent tests of enough number and yield to be able to anyway to surpass U.S. sophistication in nuclear weapons. |
