What it does
The RESTRAIN Act would prohibit the United States from conducting explosive nuclear weapons testing or any other nuclear explosion, amending the Atomic Energy Defense Act to enforce this ban. It would also prohibit the use of federal funds authorized for fiscal year 2026 or later to support such testing. The bill explicitly preserves the authority to conduct subcritical nuclear tests, which do not produce explosive chain reactions, ensuring that certain types of nuclear research can continue under the prohibition.
