Semipalatinsk: Kazakhstan’s Nuclear Legacy
From 1949 to 1989, the Soviet Union detonated 456 nuclear devices at the Semipalatinsk Test Site in Kazakhstan: 116 above ground or atmospheric and 340 underground. Fallout exposed nearby communities, leaving increased cancer risks and contaminated land. An antinuclear movement helped force change, and Kazakhstan closed the site in 1991. The Polygon became both a national trauma and a powerful symbol of nuclear disarmament. #Semipalatinsk #nuclear

"Flash back to 1989, on the other side of the world lies another steppe near #Semey (once #Semipalatinsk), #Kazakhstan. A land that’s survived famine, collectivization, and hundreds of nuclear tests. When an underground test goes wrong, Kazakhs band together with the world and say it’s time to stop nuclear testing for good."
