No Nuclear Weapons for Saudi Arabia Act of 2026

Summary

Prohibits the United States from allowing a civilian nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia unless Saudi Arabia formally renounces uranium enrichment and spent fuel reprocessing on its territory and agrees to an IAEA Additional Protocol. It also directs U.S. policy to oppose transfers of nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia through the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) and to seek modifications to NSG guidelines until Saudi Arabia meets those conditions. Before any 123 agreement with Saudi Arabia can enter into effect, the President must submit the agreement and a report describing Saudi Arabia’s renunciation/commitment and Additional Protocol status, and Congress must pass and the President must sign a joint resolution stating that Congress favors the agreement.

• Conditions any U.S. civilian nuclear cooperation with Saudi Arabia on Saudi renouncing uranium enrichment and spent fuel reprocessing on its territory.
• Requires Saudi Arabia to agree to an IAEA Additional Protocol as part of the preconditions for cooperation.
• Directs the U.S. to oppose nuclear-technology transfers to Saudi Arabia through the Nuclear Suppliers Group until renunciation occurs.
• Directs the U.S. to seek modification of NSG guidelines as they apply to Saudi Arabia until Saudi Arabia renounces enrichment/reprocessing.
• Makes entry into effect of any Section 123 agreement contingent on presidential submission, a presidential report on renunciation/Additional Protocol status, and an affirmative congressional joint resolution.
• Imposes a new domestic procedural hurdle—Congress must actively enact a resolution favoring the agreement before it can take effect.
