9 FORT BELVOIR, VIRGINIA – One of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s (DTRA) most significant efforts to counter the threats posed by weapons of mass destruction has been a relatively unknown project at one of the Soviet Union’s most isolated and secretive facilities, the former Semipalatinsk Test Site in Kazakhstan. DTRA’s Cooperative Threat Reduction program has partnered with the Republic of Kazakhstan’s National Nuclear Center to eliminate the sites’ abandoned nuclear weapons testing infrastructure, identify and secure vulnerable nuclear materials, and leverage the unique territory to advance a shared goal of nuclear non-proliferation. 2021 will be a year of celebration. This year marks the 30th anniversary of three significant milestones: the closure of the Semipalatinsk Test Site on August 29, 1991, the creation of the Cooperative Threat Reduction program on December 12, 1991, and Kazakhstan’s independence on December 16, 1991.
