KAZAKHSTAN-HISTORY-COLDWAR-NUCLEAR
TO GO WITH STORY BY ALEKS TAPINSH
A human embryo is seen as part of an exhibition in a museum of a medical institute, in Semipalatinsk, some 50km from Kurchatov-city and 700 km from Astana, on August 23, 2011. A total of 456 nuclear tests were conducted at the test site over 42 years until Kazakhstan shut down the facility twenty years ago on August 29, 1991, making it the first country to voluntarily give up nuclear weapons. The provincial and otherwise unremarkable town of Semey, known as Semipalatinsk until four years ago, lies 150 kilometres (93 miles) west of the 18,400 square kilometre (7,100 square mile) nuclear testing site where the arms race between the Soviet Union and the United States began.
