As Congress discusses defense authorization & spending for Fiscal Year 2020, good to see this opinion column against unjustified plutonium “pit” production at SRS (in a proposed Plutonium Bomb Plant – PBP) and Los Alamos:
“Expanding nuclear weapon production is reckless”
“Behind closed doors, Congress is in the process of making a decision that will have a profound impact on nuclear risk levels and global security. Hanging in the balance is a decision to recklessly increase production of plutonium bomb cores or “pits.” The NDAA conference committee must not make that mistake.”
