WASHINGTON, D.C. (IDN) – The Trump administration has softened its demand that China immediately participate in trilateral nuclear arms control talks with the United States and Russia and says it is now seeking an interim step of a politically binding framework with Moscow. 

But the administration continues to reject Russia’s offer of a clean five-year extension of the 2010 New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) and has said that President Trump will not consider an extension until several conditions are met. [2020–09-17]

1945年7月16日、米国ニューメキシコ州のアラモゴード実験場で、世界初の核爆発装置が爆発した。米国は続けて、8月6日と9日に広島と長崎への原爆攻撃を実行した。それから70年で、さらに9つの国が約2060回の核爆発実験を行い、大気や陸上、宇宙、世界の海で放射能汚染をまき散らし、数多くの罪なき人々の健康に永続的かつ壊滅的な被害をもたらしてきた。

1945年に開始された米ソ間の核軍拡競争の不可避の帰結として、ソ連はカザフスタン東部のデゲレン山と周りのステップ地域に世界最大のセミパラチンスク核実験場(通称ポリゴン)を設置した。ここでは、ソ連が初の核実験を行った1949年8月29日から1989年2月12日に至る40年の間に、456回もの核実験が行われた。これによって、100万人以上の健康が損なわれ、数千ヘクタールの土地が放射能によって汚染されて、数百年にわたって危険で利用不可能な土地になってしまった。中国・フランス・英国・米国の場合も、アルジェリアからオーストラリア、南太平洋の海や島々、ネバダ実験場、北極のノバヤゼムリャに至る場所で、同じような運命が待ち受けていた。
