Urs Cipolat Reporting from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Preparatory Conference Meeting
The ice is melting, globally. To cope with the challenges of global
warming, the UN has established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change. "To cope with today's equally serious nuclear weapons challenges,
an Intergovernmental Panel on Nuclear Disarmament should be set up," a
British disarmament advocate argued at this year's Preparatory Committee
for the 2010 Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty
(NPT), echoing a Norwegian proposal.
"The fissile material simply cannot be made safe and secure," says Marylia Kelley, executive director of Tri-Valley CARES, a Livermore nuclear weapons watchdog group. "We in the community, which has 81,000 people, want to get rid of the plutonium and highly enriched uranium as soon as possible."
The Budget requests $6.618 billion for Weapons Activity within the Dept. of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). That is an increase of $320 M (5.1%) over the 2008 appropriation. However, bottom line adjustments to the 2008 appropriation reduce the 2008 total by $120 M. Thus, in the program-by-program comparisons, the budget shows Weapons Activities increasing by only $200 million or 3.1%. If the bottom line adjustments were spread throughout the programs (as they will have to be in the operating plan) the 2008 spending plan would appear to be $120 M smaller and the program-by-program increases, noted below for 2009 in comparison to 2008, would, on average, be larger.
Reliable Replacement Warhead Program
The "Slippery Slope" to New Nuclear Weapons could cost billions, diminish U.S.
security, result in new nuclear weapons designs less safe and reliable than
the current arsenal.
