Washington - The U.S. government intends to allocate more than $ 85 billion over the next decade to modernize its nuclear weapons complex.
"This funding level unprecedented since the end of the Cold War," a statement the White House as reported by UPI.com site on Saturday (11/20/2010).
According to the White House, the National Nuclear Security Agency or the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) lost 20 percent of its purchasing power during the reign of former president George W. Bush. NNSA is the agency charged with ensuring the safety and reliability of U.S. nuclear arsenal.
NNSA has said it is committed to modernizing the U.S. nuclear arsenal and has received support from the White House.
President Barack Obama asked for funds amounting to U.S. $ 7 billion to fund the NNSA during 2011, reflecting an increase of nearly 10 percent from a year earlier.
In addition to these funds, as much as U.S. $ 600 million more will be added to fund the NNSA in 2012. White House says it is part of the proposal amounted to U.S. $ 85 billion over the next decade.
Funding proposals submitted by the White House is the amount greater than U.S. $ 4.1 billion financing plan submitted to U.S. lawmakers earlier this year.
