USAF unit fails part of nuclear security inspection

摘要

The US Air Force's (USAF's) problems with nuclear security have boiled to the surface again following news that another USAF wing has failed part of an inspection. The 341 st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana received an 'unsatisfactory rating' during a recent Nuclear Surety Inspection (NSI), according to a 13 August USAF statement. USAF officials said that the rating does not mean the unit is unable to perform its mission or that safety and security are compromised. "However, the deviations from standards must be addressed," the statement said.
