AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar the United States from conducting explosive nuclear tests unless certain conditions are met. A test could happen only if a foreign country conducts an explosive nuclear test or officials find a technical need related to a nuclear weapon's safety, reliability, or performance. The President would have to notify Congress at least 180 days before the proposed test, including a description, reasons, costs, and timelines. Congress would then have to pass a joint resolution approving the test, which would require a two-thirds vote in the Senate.
