It is to be noted here that Kazakhstan had maximum nuclear detonations in 1970s and early 1980s. These had serious detrimental impact on health of the people.
The Kazakhstan Anti-Nuclear Movement built strong public opinion against these and the government banned any nuclear test in 1991. Since then, Kazakhstan is a nuclear weapon-free zone.
