“These experiments advance our efforts to develop new technology in support of US nuclear non-proliferation goals. They will help reduce global nuclear threats by improving the detection of underground nuclear explosive tests,” said Corey Hinderstein, a spokeswoman for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a division of the US Department of Energy.
The agency said chemical explosives and radioisotope indicators were used in the experiment.
The tests took place on 18 October, the day the lower house of the Russian parliament passed a bill to withdraw ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).
