科雷尔在参议院武装部队委员会就其担任美国战略司令部司令的提名举行的听证会上作证时,被问及美国是否有军事必要进行核弹头试验(上一次试验于1992年进行)。

科雷尔指出,美国能源部和五角大楼每年都会认证美国核武库的安全性和可靠性,并表示支持2025-2026年的最新认证。

他表示:”各部门’表明我们具备能力和足够的测试来确保我们对核弹头的可靠性和有效性感到满意’。’但我们会非常密切地监测这一点,我将继续提供我所能提供的最佳军事建议。’”

WASHINGTON, March 26 (Reuters) – The Navy admiral tapped as the new head of U.S. ​nuclear forces on Thursday endorsed a finding ‌by the Energy Department and Pentagon that the U.S. nuclear arsenal is safe and reliable and there is ​no need to conduct nuclear warhead ​tests.

Admiral Richard Correll’s comment comes as officials ⁠are assessing how to implement a directive ​issued in October by President Donald Trump to ​conduct nuclear weapons tests.

Correll, testifying at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on his confirmation as U.S. ​Strategic Command chief, was asked if he ​saw a military need for the U.S. to conduct ‌nuclear ⁠warhead tests, the last of which took place in 1992.

Noting that the Energy Department and Pentagon annually certify the safety and reliability ​of the ​U.S. nuclear ⁠arsenal, Correll expressed support for the most recent certification, which was ​issued for 2025-2026.

The departments “indicated we have ​the ⁠capabilities and sufficient testing to satisfy ourselves on the reliability and efficacy of our nuclear ⁠warheads,” ​said Correll. “But we monitor that ​very closely and I will continue to provide my best military ​advice.”
