It will also block all entrances to the site that the country has used for all six of its nuclear tests and remove observation facilities and other structures around the area. “In parallel with dismantlement of the nuclear test ground, guards and researchers will be withdrawn and the surrounding area of the test ground be completely closed,” noted the statement .
