Possible definitions for saltest
salt
Chemical compound formed when the hydrogen of an acid is replaced by a metal or its equivalent, such as ammonium (NH4). Typically, an acid and a base react to form a salt and water. Most inorganic salts ionize (see ion) in water solution. Sodium chloride--common table salt--is the most familiar salt; sodium bicarbonate (bicarbonate of soda), silver nitrate, and calcium carbonate are others.
Negotiations between the U.S. and the Soviet Union aimed at curtailing the manufacture of strategic nuclear missiles. The first round of negotiations began in 1969 and resulted in a treaty regulating antiballistic missiles and freezing the number of intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles. It was signed by L. Brezhnev and R. Nixon in 1972. A second round of talks (SALT II, 1972-79) addressed the asymmetry between the two sides' strategic forces and ended with an agreement to limit strategic launchers (see MIRV). It was signed by Brezhnev and J. Carter; though never formally ratified by the U.S. Senate, its terms were observed by both sides. Subsequent negotiations took the name Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START). See also intermediate-range nuclear weapons, Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty.
