Federal HB5894 prohibits explosive testing of nuclear weapons by the United States.

Federal HB5894, also known as the RESTRAIN Act, amends the Atomic Energy Defense Act to prohibit explosive testing of nuclear weapons by the United States. It defines a subcritical nuclear test as a nuclear test of fissile materials that are not capable of sustaining an explosive nuclear chain reaction. The bill also limits the availability of funds for explosive testing of nuclear weapons or any other nuclear explosion. The prohibition does not limit the authority to conduct a subcritical nuclear test.
