The Department of Energy (DOE) FY 2008 budget request was submitted to Congress on Monday, February 5, 2007. The Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA) is concerned that spending on nuclear weapons and energy will divert funds away from environmental cleanup, radiation health programs and plutonium disposition. The Alliance for Nuclear Accountability opposes any attempt to cut funding for vital cleanup programs while increasing spending on unnecessary weapons activities.

While the United States accuses other countries of pursuing nuclear weapons, the DOE budget proposal will demonstrate that the U.S. is massively retooling its own nuclear weapons research, testing, and production infrastructure to create new weapon designs and maintain thousands of warheads for many decades to come, in direct contradiction to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.  To view the ANA Analysis of the DOE Budget from 2004-08, click here.
