The United States part of the Joint Verification Experiment, carried out in 1988 as the Kearsarge event in Operation Touchstone. Twenty-five years later, before tensions increased between Russia and the United States, a joint commemoration of the event was held at the Nevada Nuclear Security Site (formerly the Nevada Test Site). JVE provided the first opportunity for scientists from US and Soviet nuclear weapons laboratories to meet and work cooperatively. At the Nevada Test Site and at the follow-on experiment at the Soviet Semipalatinsk Test Site they developed confidence-building steps that made possible the ratification of the TTBT in 1990. Both Russians and Americans agree that cooperation between US and Soviet nuclear weapons scientists began with the JVE and the follow-on discussions on the TTBT verification mechanisms during the Geneva negotiations. Condition: Very good.
