The Union of Concerned Scientists and their partners are calling on Congress to stop dangerous and unnecessary plans to carry out the most expensive expansion of our nuclear weapons complex in history, including making hundreds of plutonium bomb cores for new nuclear weapons.
This kind of production, which involves extremely dangerous radioactive materials, also puts workers and nearby Indigenous and majority-Black communities at risk. We've seen this before: marginalized communities are put at risk in exchange for a false sense of national security. Yet the government is speeding ahead, and the costs are skyrocketing. This will cost $15 billion over the next five years, and an expected $65 billion over 30 years.
This plan also goes against the US commitment in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to pursue nuclear disarmament and instead fuels the nuclear arms race that we can already see brewing internationally, essentially guaranteeing that other nuclear states will follow suit.
Tell your member of Congress to stop this absurd and dangerous project of building new bomb cores for nuclear weapons.
