SRS Watch and other Groups Write to Key members of Armed Services Committees about Wasteful Spending in National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, including on the Issue of Expanded Plutonium “Pit” Production for Nuclear Weapons
“Bipartisan Coalition: Eliminate Wasteful Spending in the Fiscal Year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act,” August 16, 2019
Request to stop proposed Plutonium Bomb Plant (PBP) at SRS: “Repeal the requirement for the Department of Energy to demonstrate the capability to produce plutonium pits at a rate sufficient to produce 80 pits per year by 2027; instead set a goal of no more than 30 pits per year. Reduce $241.2 million from the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) request of $712.4 million to expand pit production beyond 30 pits.”
