The Kansas City Plant is located in the Bannister Federal Complex near Holmes and
Bannister Road and is run by Honeywell under NNSA, the National Nuclear Security Administration. It makes over 85% of the non-nuclear components of nuclear weapons, averages over 5000 shipments a month of nuclear weapons parts and is having its busiest workload in 20 years even in this post-Cold War era!

In spite of a decade of work on its program to eliminate surplus weapons plutonium, not a single gram has been disposed by the Department of Energy (DOE). By any standard, the program is a failure. Left unchanged, it will continue to suffer from chronic bad management, escalating costs, and technical uncertainties. A better alternative is for Congress and a new administration to put the disposition program onto the safer and less costly vitrification track.

The Department of Energy (DOE) has asked Congress for $302 million in fiscal year 2009 for the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP), which it also calls the Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI). GNEP is a Bush Administration scheme to revive the dangerous practice of reprocessing irradiated nuclear fuel. GNEP would endanger the environment, encourage nuclear bomb-making, squander U.S. taxpayer dollars, and deepen the nuclear waste problem.

The Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW) Program is a plan developed by the Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) “for improving the long-term safety, reliability, and security of the nuclear weapons stockpile.” It has been used to justify a massive overhaul of the nuclear weapons production facilities now called “Complex Transformation.”
Last year, Congress zeroed out funding, clearly stating that it was “prohibiting” the development “of a Reliable Replacement Warhead until the President has a post Cold War strategic nuclear weapons plan necessary to guide transformation and downsizing of the stockpile and nuclear weapons complex.” Despite that message the administration came back with a budget request for FY 2009 that includes more than $40 million of funding connected to the RRW.

U.S. nuclear weapons research, testing and production activities have left dozens of Department of Energy (DOE) sites polluted with massive amounts of radioactive and hazardous wastes. Most DOE sites are now on the Superfund list of the nation’s most environmentally dangerous facilities. Their contamination threatens millions of people living near the sites or along major waste transportation routes. Some of the nation’s most important water resources are endangered.

NEW PRESIDENT MUST OVERHAUL U.S. NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM; “REPORT CARD” FINDS ENERGY DEPT. IS “OUT OF CONTROL”
“DOE and its National Nuclear Security Agency are out of control,” said Susan Gordon, Director of the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA). “They are ignoring instructions from Congress to end wasteful projects, hiding money for new weapons in the budget, and failing to heed many environmental requirements. A new administration must reign in this rogue agency.”
