3:46Now PlayingDuring a hearing of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) pushed Energy Secretary Chris Wright into admitting that a resumption of explosive nuclear testing – which would occur at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) – is not necessary. The Trump Administration has expressed interest in resuming explosive nuclear testing, which would break the testing moratorium signed by President George H.W. Bush in 1992, and restart nuclear testing at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS). Since then, the U.S. has continued to certify the military effectiveness of our nation’s nuclear stockpile, through state-of-the-art, science-based subcritical experiments conducted at the Site that ensure we never have to detonate another nuclear weapon on U.S. soil again. These experiments provide greater certainty and data about the performance of the stockpile, experts say, than the information that could be obtained if the U.S. were to conduct an explosive nuclear test.
Senator Rosen is fighting to ensure that explosive nuclear testing never returns to Nevada. She recently visited the NNSS, where she saw first-hand the work being done to certify the stockpile without explosive testing. She helped introduce legislation to ensure that no president can unilaterally resume explosive nuclear testing. In prior Senate Armed Services Committee hearings, Senator Rosen has received commitments from every nominee to lead the National Nuclear Security Administration and the commander of U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM) that there is not a need to resume explosive nuclear testing and that they would not recommend a resumption. Senator Rosen also helped pass a bipartisan bill to support Nevadans harmed by radiation from Cold War nuclear testing.
