Ban on explosive U.S. nuclear tests

If enacted, the United States would be barred from doing any explosive nuclear test or other nuclear explosion. From fiscal year 2026 onward, no federal funds could pay for those explosive tests. The bill would still allow subcritical nuclear tests, which use fissile material but cannot cause a chain reaction explosion. The ban would take effect upon enactment.
