Historical Dates in March

  • Pampas, The First of 24 Joint U.S. and U.K. Underground Nuclear Tests: Following the success of Operation Grapple in which the United Kingdom became the third nation to acquire thermonuclear weapons after the United States and the Soviet Union, Britain launched negotiations with the U.S. with a treaty in which both could share information and material to design, test and maintain nuclear weapons. Sixty years ago, on March 1, 1962, the first joint underground nuclear test with the United States and United Kingdom occurred at the Nevada Test Site.
  • The Bare Reactor Experiment, Nevada: First erected at the Nevada Test Site in March of 1962, this year marks the 60-year anniversary of the Bare Reactor Experiment, Nevada. The experiment was intended to improve the understanding of the effects of radiation in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Japanese-style houses were built near the base of the tower and were bombarded with various intensities of radiation.
  • Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons: On March 5, 1970, the treaty created to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology to promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy went into effect.
  • “Star Wars” Missile Defense Program: The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), nicknamed the “Star Wars” program was announced on March 23, 1983. Proposed as a missile defense system intended to protect the United States from attack by ballistic strategic nuclear weapons, the concept was announced by former President Ronald Reagan to develop a system that would render nuclear weapons obsolete.
