The U.S. is for the third time seeking permission from its people to rebuild the nuclear weapons complex. There are eight sites that would be involved in the current DOE vision: Savannah River Site near Augusta, Oak Ridge in Tennessee, Los Alamos and Sandia labs in New Mexico, Pantex in Texas, the Kansas City Plant, Lawrence Livermore in California and the Nevada test site. There are literally dozens of facilities proposed to be spread around at these eight sites.

We need a new vision! We need a Bombplex Transformation, but we need the complex to dismantie nuclear weapons, manage nuclear weapons materials, and clean-up from the past 65 years of weapons production.

Important Call for Public Comments
~ STOP BOMBPLEX ~

Rare opportunity to speak to your government
ON THE RECORD about The Bomb

NOW IS THE TIME TO REJECT NUCLEAR WEAPONS

The U.S. is for the third time seeking permission from its people to rebuild the nuclear weapons complex.

Thanks to the National Environmental Policy Act, the government is now required to hold public hearings to solicit comments for an environmental impact statement before it can build new bomb factories. The public has spoken clearly and unequivocally at each opportunity that we reject nuclear weapons under any and all circumstances. In round one of the public comment period, 32,000 comments demanding nuclear disarmament and rejecting nuclear build-up were submitted! In the current public comment period which began in February, 85,000 comments have already been submitted.

It has been nearly 20 years now since our country has manufactured new nuclear weapons. Momentum is on the side of nuclear disarmament and the final abolition of weapons of mass destruction. Our national security lies down the path of nuclear waste management, environmental restoration and securing the bomb materials from dismantled weapons. We have a rare window of opportunity to establish a turning point in human history — to publicly express the vision and goal that may inspire our country to lead the world in ending the global nuclear nightmare.

Nuclear weapons are a human artifact and it is humanly possible to turn away from the wasteful path of nuclear madness. We can turn our hearts and minds to a new frontier of human ingenuity — honoring treaties to dismantle nuclear weapons, managing radioactive nuclear waste and securing weapons-grade plutonium and uranium from future use as nuclear weapons.

We are standing at a choice point in history. If it is human nature to learn from our mistakes, then it is wise for us to remember that it was the Bomb itself (and the rockets we developed to deliver them to the other side of our Earth) that showed us the stark and glorious revelation that our planet is finite, fragile and destructible and — most important of all — that we are all in it together.
