The undisputed link between the tests and a radioactive element in baby teeth provided much of the impetus for the 1963 test Ban Treaty, which outlawed above-ground nuclear weapons-testing.

试验与婴儿牙齿里放射元素之间的无可争辩的联系对于推动1963年的《禁止核试验条约》起了至关重要的作用。该条约宣布地面进行核武器试验非法。

IAEA-led team was fanning out in western Georgia in search of the remaining two of a batch of eight abandoned devices containing strontium-90, another radioactive element, which had been used in generators for communication stations.

The device's primary source of neutron radiation was the radioactive element californium, but the stream of neutrons produced by the californium was multiplied by passing it through a lattice of highly enriched uranium U-235, whose nuclear fission released additional neutrons.
