U.S. Energy Secretary reveals testing of non-nuclear components of nuclear weapons

【U.S. Energy Secretary: The Country Will Test Non-Nuclear Components of Nuclear Weapons】

On November 2, 2025, in Washington, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright responded to questions from Fox News television channel:

I think what we are talking about now is system testing, not nuclear explosions. Non-critical explosions, you test all other parts of the nuclear weapon to ensure they are ready for a nuclear explosion.

Wright added:

We will test and open up new systems. Obviously, President Trump believes that the United States should be the leader of the world's preeminent military power. Only in this way can we ensure peace abroad and prosperity at home. He saw what is happening in the world, and he wants to convey to everyone that the United States will lead.
