RESTRAIN Act

This bill would change the Atomic Energy Defense Act to ban the United States from conducting explosive tests of nuclear weapons or any other nuclear explosion. It would also bar the use of federal funds, including funds authorized for fiscal year 2026 or made available for any fiscal year, to carry out such tests or explosions. The bill states that it does not limit the United States from conducting subcritical nuclear tests, which it defines as tests of fissile materials that cannot sustain an explosive nuclear chain reaction.
