Bill overview
The Health Impacts of Nuclear War Act of 2023 directs the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to study the potential health consequences of a nuclear war, including long-term environmental effects like soot and radiation. It mandates a five-year research and preparedness program, involving grants and collaborations with various institutions, to assess the nation’s ability to respond to these impacts and identify critical gaps. The bill also requires HHS to conduct an assessment of the U.S. health system’s preparedness and recommend further scientific research and improvements.
