Revitalizing Nuclear Security in an Era of Uncertainty

The Obama administration has proposed steep cuts in funding for improving security for dangerous nuclear materials, cuts which, if approved, would slow progress toward preventing the essential ingredients of nuclear bombs from falling into terrorist hands. This report reviews funding trends over the past four years and describes how the proposed cuts would delay nuclear and radiological material removals, research reactor conversions, and other important work. They recommend that Congress should act to reduce the scale of the proposed cuts by at least $100 million, and should consider other substantial increases in funding for nonproliferation programs. They call on the administration to increase its nuclear security budget request for the next fiscal year, and to adopt as a principle that no effort that shows promise of offering a significant and lasting reduction in the risk of nuclear terrorism should be slowed by lack of funds.

Although focused on critiquing past and curre...
