The Nevada Test Site has often been a target of anti nuclear protests. Most of these were conducted by the American Peace Test (APT) and Nevada Desert Experience (NDE).
In March 1988, APT organized a ten day long "Reclaim the Test Site" event which was attended by more than 8,800 people. Nearly 2,067 of these people were arrested, including 1,200 who were taken into custody in one day. This set a record for most civil disobedience arrests in a single protest.
