Nevada Democrats Push for Clarity on Trump's Nuclear Testing SuggestionNevada Democrats, including Senators Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto, and Representatives Steven Horsford, Susie Lee, and Dina Titus, are seeking clarification from the Trump administration regarding the former President's suggestion to restart nuclear testing. The potential impact of such a policy change would be significant in Nevada, where nearly one thousand atmospheric and underground nuclear tests occurred between 1951 and 1992. Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated that the agency is planning system tests that are non-critical, not nuclear explosions, but the Nevada delegation, with the exception of Republican Representative Mark Amodei, expressed skepticism about Wright's statements. The delegation's letter urges the administration to reverse course on resuming nuclear testing and to reaffirm the country's moratorium on explosive nuclear weapons testing.
