and, as the cno said, i'm admiral john richardson the director of naval reactors. it's like i have cradle-to-grave responsibility for the navy's nuclear propulsion program. and, as this incident involves my program, i take full responsibility for this incident. this is mine to investigate and to correct. i was made aware of this situation yesterday, on 3 february, when one of our sailors from the nuclear power training unit in charleston, south carolina, was offered to compromise his integrity, recognized that this was wrong, and reported it to the command. the naval nuclear propulsion program aggressively focuses on managing problems, whether those are materiel, operational or personnel problems, with the intent of finding and correcting problems while they are still relatively small. and so, in addition to self-examinations, each element of the program is examined by outside inspectors, and we aggressively respond to any problems that they find as well. on rare occasions, an integrity incident occurs that includes an element of collusion between more senior peopl

admiral john richardson will speak more about the details of the incident and where we are so far. i'm disappointed would be an understatement. whenever i hear about integrity issues it is disruptive to our unit's success and definitely contrary to all of our core values, our navy core values and it affects the very basis of our ethos. the foundation of our conduct throughout the navy is integrity we expect more from our sailors especially our senior sailors in our training and operations and we will operate with hundreds of thousands of professional sailors who are operating with honor and integrity throughout our fleet today. we set high expectations within our navy particularly this program, the navy nuclear propulsion program. it has five decades of distinguished service and it is all founded on integrity. our sailors are held to a standard, a very high standard and this will not change. so i assure you if these allegations are substantiated we will hold the appropriate sailors, hold the appropriate people accountable varied we will remain vigilant throughout the program as we
