Our focus

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

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.

Public hearing on nuclear weapons in our back yard!

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

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.

Dear Tri-Valley CAREs member, We are organizing locally for the Livermore public hearing on plutonium pit production while also preparing to go to Washington, DC for this year’s Alliance for Nuclear Accountability’s (ANA) DC Days! We need your support! The President is calling for $1.5 trillion in military spending during a...

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 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.

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

On April 21, Tri-Valley CAREs’ Nuclear Policy Program Director, Tanvi Kardile, accompanied by other plaintiffs Savannah River Site Watch and Nuclear Watch New Mexico, toured the plutonium “pit” bomb core production plant at the National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA’s) Savannah River Site (SRS) near Aiken, South Carolina.
