The No Nuclear Testing Without Approval Act requires congressional approval before explosive nuclear testing can resume.
The No Nuclear Testing Without Approval Act amends the Atomic Energy Defense Act to require congressional approval before explosive nuclear testing may be conducted. The President must submit a notification to Congress at least 180 days before testing, detailing the reasons for the testing, the technical need, and the estimated costs and timelines. Congress must then pass a joint resolution of approval, which requires a two-thirds majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
