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.

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

We need your support! The President is calling for $1.5 trillion in military spending during a...
