U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright clarified that the nuclear weapons testing recently ordered by U.S. President Trump will involve "noncritical explosions" rather than actual nuclear detonations, focusing on testing weapon components to ensure proper geometry and functionality.

Last week, Trump announced on Truth Social that he directed the U.S. Department of War to begin nuclear weapons testing "on an equal basis" with other nations, citing concerns about rival powers' testing programs and the need to maintain nuclear parity.

The testing will focus on modernizing America's nuclear stockpile by evaluating new systems to ensure replacement nuclear weapons are more reliable and effective than previous versions, according to Wright's explanation of the U.S. administration's nuclear modernization program.

The United States last conducted nuclear explosive testing in 1992, and North Korea reportedly remains the only country to have carried out nuclear weapons tests since the 1990s, with its most recent test occurring in 2017 before announcing a moratorium in 2018.
