“For more than 30 years, presidents from both parties have refrained from nuclear explosive testing in the United States. At home, America’s scientists have developed cutting-edge tools to ensure our nuclear weapons are safe, secure, and effective without testing, with the Nevada National Security Site playing a crucial role. Overseas, we have led international efforts to conclude, sustain and verify a ban on nuclear testing, so that since 1998, only the pariah state of North Korea has ignored the ban. Today, there is no case for asking Nevadans, or America, to retake this test.”
