Nevada's congressional delegation, led by Senator Jacky Rosen and Representative Steven Horsford, vehemently opposes former President Trump's plan to resume nuclear testing in the state. With a history of over 900 tests causing severe health issues for locals, they argue that modern technology renders old-school testing unnecessary. Military experts and Representative Dina Titus also warn of potential international security risks and the possibility of restarting an arms race. Despite the U.S. signing a nuclear testing ban treaty in 1996, Nevada's leaders remain steadfast in their opposition, with the National Atomic Testing Museum serving as a reminder of the past and a platform for informed dialogue.
