The United States assesses that Russia has conducted nuclear weapons-related experiments that
have created nuclear yield. The United States does not know how many, if any, supercritical or
self-sustaining nuclear experiments Russia conducted in 2019. Russia may be testing in a
manner that releases nuclear energy from an explosive canister, which raises compliance
concerns with Russia's TTBT notification obligation.
China maintained a high level of activity at its Lop Nur nuclear weapons test site throughout
2019. China's possible preparation to operate its Lop Nur test site year-round, its use of
explosive containment chambers, extensive excavation activities at Lop Nur, and lack of
transparency on its nuclear testing activities " which has included frequently blocking the flow of
data from its International Monitoring System (IMS) stations to the International Data Center
operated by the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty
Organization " raise concerns regarding its adherence to the "zero yield" standard adhered to by
the United States, the United Kingdom, and France in their respective nuclear weapons testing
moratoria.
