Russia is 'stimulating' US thinking on nuclear security, says Energy Secretary
U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz on Thursday said Russia is forcing the United States to focus more intently on its nuclear security, and he added that the U.S. should work to modernize its nuclear deterrent.
"I mentioned earlier Russia and stimulating some additional thinking on energy security. They've also stimulated some additional thinking on nuclear security issues unfortunately," Moniz said during a speech at Columbia University on Thursday evening hosted by the Center on Global Energy Policy.
The U.S. Energy Department's National Nuclear Security Administration is tasked with guarding the safety and integrity of the nation's nuclear arsenal.
