Bill > S3090

This bill, known as the No Nuclear Testing Act of 2025, prohibits the use of federal funds for conducting or preparing for any nuclear weapons test that produces a detectable explosive yield during fiscal year 2026 and for any previously authorized funds available at the time of the bill's enactment. Importantly, the bill does not restrict nuclear stockpile stewardship activities that are compliant with the "zero-yield standard," which means scientific and maintenance activities related to nuclear weapons can continue as long as they do not involve actual explosive testing. The zero-yield standard ensures that the United States can maintain its nuclear arsenal's safety and reliability without conducting full-scale nuclear explosions, aligning with ongoing global efforts to prevent nuclear testing and proliferation.
