National Nuclear Security Administration Decision Circumvents Public Environmental Review, Increases Radiation Doses, and Must Be Retracted

Late last week, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) quietly posted a simultaneous Record of Decision (ROD) and Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) approving “Enhanced Plutonium Utilization” at the Lab.

Tri-Valley CAREs’ staff and members recently attended public tours of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s Site 300 high-explosives testing range near Tracy, California and its Main Site in Livermore. 

The government is restarting the production of Plutonium Pits (nuclear bomb cores) for the first time since 1989. A public hearing is scheduled in Livermore because of Livermore Lab’s (LLNL) involvement—which includes “major new plutonium pit support” work.

The administration’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 budget request for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has been released, and it is staggering. The one-year funding request for $3,202,772,000 is the highest ever for LLNL.

The third of five public hearings taking place across the country will happen here in Livermore on Tuesday evening, May 12, beginning at 5pm at Garre Vineyards  (7986 Tesla Rd.) The public will finally get the opportunity to comment on the National Nuclear Security Administration’s plans to build up to 205 new plutonium pits per year for a new generation of nuclear weapons designs.

The U.S. government plans to produce 80 or more deadly plutonium bomb cores, called pits, to place inside new nuclear warheads. 

Estimado Miembro de Tri-Valley CAREs: Nos estamos organizando a nivel local para la audiencia pública de Livermore sobre la producción de núcleos de plutonio, ¡y al mismo tiempo nos preparamos para viajar a Washington, D. C., para los «DC Days» de este año de la...

The National Nuclear Security Administration’s  (NNSA) nationwide plutonium pit production plan, in which Livermore Lab will be doing plutonium pit support work, is open for public comment.

It’s May. Spring is in the air. Breathe deeply. But more plutonium too?

Tri-Valley residents have a rare opportunity to stem plutonium increases locally and impact nuclear weapons policy nationally at an upcoming public hearing.

Public hearing on nuclear weapons in our back yard!
