Stop the Risky, Redundant and Wasteful New Nuclear Weapon

TAKE ACTION NOW

The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration has recently announced their selection of a design for the first new American H Bomb since the end of the Cold War.

The program, known as the "Reliable Replacement Warhead," or RRW, would be enormously expensive, potentially dangerous to the health of workers and communities involved in its production, and gravely damaging to U.S. efforts towards stopping the spread of nuclear weapons. How can we tell other nations not to build nuclear weapons while we not only maintain our own huge stockpile but plan to build a new generation of nukes. RRW really stands for "Risky, Redundant, and Wasteful."

Perhaps the most dangerous element of the RRW program is that it is clearly contrary to the spirit of the 1968 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), the signers of which, including the U.S., pledged to work for the global elimination of nuclear weapons. If the most powerful nation in the world cannot live by these rules then why should other nations.

California Senator Dianne Feinstein, a leader in efforts to prevent the use or spread of nuclear weapons, responded strongly, saying: “there is a long history of this Administration seeking to reopen the nuclear door, and I am 100 percent opposed to this.”

Other Congressional and nuclear non-proliferation leaders have voiced strong opposition to the RRW; please tell your members of Congress to do everything they can to eliminate funding for this dangerous program.
