As a general rule I am opposed to nuclear regulation.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION AT VOTE
Nuclear Testing Protocol
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.
Category: International Security
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Jean Pierre Trudeau
Description: The World Assembly,
Confirming the rights of member nations to produce and possess nuclear weapons for offensive and defense purposes,
Concerned that nuclear weapons which are not properly tested have a probability of not functioning as intended, possibly producing far higher yields than predicted,
Also realizing the need for safe and secure testing of nuclear weapons, which seeks to mitigate the damage to the environment and non-participating actors,
Thus resolving to enact a sensible policy that allows for the safe testing of nuclear armaments whilst protecting the environment and its inhabitants,
The General Assembly hereby,
Requires members to refrain from testing nuclear weapons in open atmospheres if it could lead to the excessive harmful contamination of the environment, inhabited or agricultural land,
Demands member nations refrain from testing nuclear weapons in a manner which could directly cause harm to civilians or government personnel,
Directs member nations to halt testing nuclear weapons at altitudes which could produce a damaging electromagnetic pulse to non-involved civilian or government facilities, vehicles, and equipment,
Urges member nations to cease high altitude nuclear weapon testing if it has a high probability of creating artificial radiation belts around a planetary body,
Further urges member nations halt testing nuclear weapons in a manner which could lead to harmful damage to civilians, government personnel, or their structures via artificial seismic activity,
Further directs member nations take all necessary security precautions to prevent unauthorized access to nuclear testing sites, materials or confidential data surrounding nuclear tests,
Further demands that member nations classify all information and materials related to nuclear testing as state secrets and prevent this information or material with anyone not authorized to have access to this information,
Empowers the World Health Authority to demand presence at any test with a reasonable probability of producing a nuclear yield to monitor the effects of such test solely in regards to the health of general populace which may be affected.

This however seems to be a common sense approach that would boost military and police spending.
I see no reason to oppose it but have no strong feelings either way.
