Did the nuclear test ban treaty outlaw all nuclear testing?
Short answer: no. One of the treaties in the 1960's banned above ground testing and all countries (the US, Soviet Union, France, and China) have followed that ban. The US and the Soviet Union agreed, in a separate treaty, to stop underground testing in the 1970's and both have followed that treaty. Other countries, India and Pakistan and possibly North Korea, did not agree to ban all testing and have conducted underground nuclear testing in the last ten years.
Why was France so unpopular with many countries in mid-1995?
In short, France conducted a new round of nuclear testing.In detail: in June 1995, the French president agreed to and announced the last series of nuclear bomb tests, to be conducted in desertic atolls of the Pacific. Nuclear testing, especially atmospheric, was more and more contentious since the 'castle Bravo' US test in Bikini in 1954. The US strongly voiced their concerns at the time of the French experiments.France ended its nuclear testing and ratified the 1996 CTBT (Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty) banning further nuclear testing. The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty is still waiting to be ratified by six "nuclear" countries: China, India, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, and the US.To date, France has conducted a total of 210 tests, USSR has a total of 715, and the US carried a series of 1050 explosions.
