Bill overview
This bill, the RESTRAIN Act, aims to permanently ban the United States from conducting explosive tests of nuclear weapons. It amends the Atomic Energy Defense Act to specifically prohibit such tests and restricts funding for any nuclear explosions. The bill allows for subcritical nuclear tests, which do not involve a chain reaction capable of causing an explosion, while preventing other types of explosive testing.
