Underreported: Ungrades to US Nuclear Weapons Facilities

Thursday, May 14, 2009

Despite President Obama's recent pledge to seek a world free of nuclear weapons, the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration is proposing a major upgrade to the nation's nuclear weapons complex, including the construction of new facilities that could produce thousands of new warheads over time. Bill Hartung is Director of Arms and Security Initiative at the New America Foundation.

    This is an example of a really good expose story WNYC can be proud of. This is really scary, demented, ignorant stuff.

    The sun is just one big nuclear reactor anyway.
