On Friday, October 24, the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability admonished the Department of Energy (DOE) for recommendations in a newly released report mapping out the future of nuclear weapons production in the United States.
The report titled, Final Complex Transformation Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, drew unprecedented attention last year as part of a legally required public comment period in which more than 100,000 letters were sent to DOE opposing their plan to revamp the industrial infrastructure responsible for building and maintaining nuclear weapons. The plan referred to as “the Bombplex,” would ensure an indefinite reliance on nuclear weapons.

Stop the Bombplex!
Bombplex = Nuclear Bombs Forever
The Department of Energy's (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) wants to refurbish the industrial infrastructure responsible for building and maintaining nuclear weapons. DOE originally called this plan Complex 2030; they have now changed the name to Complex Transformation. We are calling it the Bombplex because it will ensure that the U.S. continues building new nuclear weapons indefinitely. The Bombplex is expensive ($150 billion) and dangerous.
Bombplex = Proliferation
Among other things, the Bombplex will give DOE the capacity to build new nuclear weapons. This will hinder international non-proliferation initiatives and cripple international nuclear disarmament efforts. If the DOE is designing new nuclear weapons and improving its ability to make them, the U.S. will not be able to convince other countries to abandon their nuclear weapons programs. "Do as we say, not as we do" is not good foreign policy. The Bombplex will result in more countries with nuclear weapons and ultimately jeopardize national security.
Help Stop the Bombplex: No Nukes is Good Nukes!
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), DOE has just released their final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement which maps out their plan for the Bombplex. There is still a brief window where DOE is required to accept and consider comments on the Bombplex. This is your chance to be part of a growing movement! More than 120,000 comments have already been submitted-a record for DOE! Tell your government to abandon their Bombplex plan and instead work towards eliminating nuclear weapons.

 The
Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW) Program is a congressionally created
plan “for improving the long-term safety, reliability, and security of
the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile.” RRW was adopted by Congress to
reduce the need to return to full-scale nuclear weapons testing and
facilitate deep cuts to the stockpile.
