The U.S. has maintained a voluntary moratorium on nuclear explosive testing since its last test in 1992, relying on stockpile stewardship through computer simulations, subcritical experiments, and non-explosive certifications by the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration. Recent congressional pressure in the FY2024 National Defense Authorization Act mandates readiness to conduct a test within 12 months if directed, driven by intelligence on Russia's and China's nuclear activities, but the Biden administration has issued no orders to resume. No developments in the past 30 days signal an imminent test, with barriers including Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty obligations, diplomatic repercussions, and high political costs. A post-election policy shift in 2025 remains a key uncertainty for traders.

A nuclear test is defined as the intentional non-combat detonation of a device by the US that produces a nuclear chain reaction (fission or fusion), regardless of yield.
Accidents, radiological dispersal devices (bombs that spread radioactive material using conventional explosives such as "dirty bombs"), or actions by third parties will not count toward this market's resolution.
Tests not explicitly claimed by US may still qualify if a clear consensus of credible reporting attributes the nuclear detonation to US. For example, an unclaimed nuclear test analogous to the 1979 "Vela Incident" would count if credible reporting attributes it to the US.
The resolution source for this market will be a broad consensus of credible reporting.
