S.3106

The No Nuclear Testing Without Approval Act requires congressional approval before explosive nuclear testing may be resumed.

The No Nuclear Testing Without Approval Act amends the Atomic Energy Defense Act to prohibit explosive nuclear testing by the United States after the date of enactment unless a foreign state conducts an explosive nuclear test or there is a technical need for such testing. The President must submit a notification to Congress at least 180 days before proposed testing. The notification must include a description of the testing, reasons for conducting it, an assessment of alternative options, and an estimate of timelines and costs.
