COMPLEX 2030: Rebuilding the entire U.S. nuclear weapons arsenal

Read the document Mary Day Kent presented at the NEPA hearing in Washington D.C., December 14, on supplemental proposals to Complex 2030.

Read Mary Day's comments on the expericence for the WILPF blog.

Read Ellen Barfield's Comments on the news conference and public hearing.

Also help us refine WILPF comments on the specific additional proposals which are the subject of the current NEPA process. We decided to circulate them for comment and revision by WILPF members before submitting them in early January.

Individual member or Branch submissions are important. The deadline for submissions is January 17, and you can find here the information you need to help perfect our WILPF Statement Part II, of to make your own comments by email or mail. We also plan to post talking points for those who don't have time or energy to examine the basic documents, but want to register their objections to this dangerous program.

Download an unclassified version of Complex 2030. This program is presented by the Pentagon and the Department of Energy as the way to go in the future development of the U.S. nuclear weapons program. It includes the Reliable Replacement Warhead program, and would reopen the entire nuclear weapons industry with lucrative contracts of major and minor war profiteers. Cost estimates are not given, but would obviously billions (and possibly trillions) would be spent before 2030 if this program actually proceeds. It would also almost certainly lead to a new nuclear arms race and renewed possibility of nuclear war by accident or by intent.

Those with power point can read this nifty summary slide show presentation for busy CEOs and other war profiteers interested in a piece of the action.
