“Nearly seventy years after melting down Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the US is planning to spend over $1 trillion on its nuclear arsenal over the next 30 years, a new report says. ‘Over the next thirty years, the United States plans to spend approximately $1 trillion maintaining the current arsenal, buying replacement systems, and upgrading existing nuclear bombs and warheads,’ said the report by the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) released on Tuesday. The CNS report adds that ‘procurement of replacement platforms and associated warheads will peak during a four to six year window, sometime after 2020’.”
