Dear Theodore A. Wyka,

STOP THE BOMBPLEX! CLEAN UP, DON'T BUILD UP!

The Department of Energy's Complex 2030 Notice of Intent proposed action — to build more nuclear weapons — is dangerous and unnecessary.

The U.S. cannot produce nuclear weapons while insisting other countries not pursue nuclear capabilities.

The U.S. should meet its obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty to pursue disarmament.

The U.S. should not waste billions of dollars planning and constructing new weapons manufacturing facilities. It should instead focus its resources on cleaning up its huge mess from past production.

The document released by NNSA November 29, 2006 “Studies Show Plutonium Degradation in U.S. Nuclear Weapons Will Not Affect Reliability Soon” exposes the faulty premise underlying the proposed Complex 2030. The EIS process should be stopped immediately to stop the waste of taxpayer money.

If the EIS process goes forward it must include analysis of the following:

• The EIS should consider the increased threat of other countries getting and using the bomb as a direct result of our resuming nuclear weapons production.
  
  
• The EIS must compare the environmental benefits of reducing the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal with the risks of manufacturing and using nuclear weapons, both by the U.S. and other countries which seek to terrorize or attack the U.S. because of our nuclear posture.
  
  
• The EIS must consider the environmental impacts of using nuclear weapons.
  
  
• The EIS must compare the cost of total disarmament by 2030 to rebuilding the nuclear weapons complex by 2030.
  
  
• The EIS must consider the environmental impacts and securty risks of transporting special nuclear materials (plutonium and highly enriched uranium) and nuclear weapons and components via highway across the U.S. to the proposed Bombplex facility.
  
  
• The EIS must analyze the environmental impacts and security risks of a terrorist attack on a plutonium or HEU processing facility at any proposed Bombplex site. The costs of increased security must also be considered in the EIS.

Signed,

(you may also request to be sent a copy of the draft EIS if you wish)

THANKS! AND NO NUKES Y'ALL!!!
