SRS Watch on the crazy, costly, unjustified proposal for a Plutonium Bomb Plant (PBP) at SRS:
“Why Does Trump Want to Spend Billions on New Nukes? A DANGEROUS PATH”
“The Trump administration wants to build thousands of plutonium cores. It’s a statement to the world that it not only doesn’t mind runaway nuclear rearmament, it’s planning for it.”
“The Trump administration wants to spend billions of dollars it doesn’t have building thousands of plutonium cores it doesn’t need for nuclear warheads that experts say will only destabilize the balance of power between the United States and Russia.
And here’s the kicker. It’s unlikely the U.S. atomic-arms industry has the capacity to build all the plutonium “pits” the administration is determined to order.
But the United States even trying to acquire all those new nukes could spur Russia and China to match the expansion, potentially fueling a nuclear arms race that none of the countries can afford and which would benefit no one.”
