The Nuclear Test Ban Treaty refers to international agreements aimed at prohibiting nuclear weapons tests. By December 1960, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Nikita Khrushchev had made steady progress in drafting a comprehensive treaty banning all nuclear tests, and such testing was suspended by both nations until September 1961. This success led to an overall heightened sensitivity about nuclear proliferation.1
