The Importance of Maintaining the Nuclear Testing Moratorium

Following the Cold War era of thousands of nuclear weapons tests, we are fortunate to live in a world where most nuclear powers, except North Korea, oppose explosive nuclear tests. The United States, in particular, has maintained a voluntary moratorium on nuclear testing since 1992. However, there are concerns that the incoming Trump administration may seek to reverse this policy.

Potential Risks of Resuming Nuclear Testing

If the United States were to resume nuclear testing, it could trigger a new era of testing globally, lasting for generations. This could have unpredictable consequences for global peace and security. It is crucial for policymakers, frontline communities, scientists, and activists to come together to oppose any attempts to revive nuclear testing by the Trump administration.

Advocates for Nuclear Testing

There is a minority of hawkish voices who have consistently opposed the US nuclear testing moratorium. Many allies of the incoming Trump administration have called for the resumption of testing, citing the need to expand the US nuclear arsenal. The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 manifesto also includes recommendations to move towards immediate test readiness, making it easier for the administration to conduct new tests.

Unnecessary for Safety and Security

Despite arguments for nuclear testing to ensure the safety and reliability of weapons, technological advancements have provided alternative methods for evaluating nuclear weapons. The US national laboratories utilize sub-critical experiments, computer simulations, and materials physics experiments to assess the nuclear stockpile. These methods have rendered explosive nuclear testing unnecessary.

Consequences of Nuclear Testing

The consequences of nuclear testing, both above ground and underground, can be severe. Radioactive materials released during tests can contaminate land and water, posing health risks to communities. Additionally, resuming nuclear testing could provoke other countries to follow suit, leading to increased global tensions and arms races.

Urgency for Action

It is vital for the United States to maintain its commitment to the nuclear testing moratorium to preserve peace, security, and international agreements. As we face potential challenges from the second Trump administration, it is crucial for individuals to advocate against the resumption of nuclear testing. By engaging with policymakers and raising awareness about the dangers of explosive nuclear tests, we can work towards a safer and more secure world.

Take action now and urge your members of Congress to oppose any efforts to resume nuclear testing.
