Inside the US lab that simulates nuclear bombs

Nuclear testing in the U.S. hasn't involved real detonations since 1992. So how is America maintaining its nuclear arsenal in 2025? Scripps News takes you inside Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), where scientists simulate nuclear explosions using the world’s most energetic laser and the supercomputer El Capitan. Go behind the scenes at the National Ignition Facility (NIF), where groundbreaking experiments recreate the conditions of a nuclear blast, all without a single explosion. Discover how these non-explosive simulations are crucial to national security and the future of nuclear weapons. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more in-depth reporting. #NuclearWeapons #LLNL #ElCapitan #NationalIgnitionFacility ------------------------------------- Join our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2q1tepr Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scrippsnews/ Follow us on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/scrippsnews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scrippsnews/ Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@scrippsnews
