The United States spent over $52 billion on nuclear weapons and
related programs in fiscal year 2008, but only 10 percent of that
went toward preventing a nuclear attack through slowing and
reversing the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. That
is the main finding of Nuclear Security Spending: Assessing Costs,
Examining Priorities, a new study that uses publicly available
documents and extensive interviews with government officials and
experts to calculate the U.S. nuclear security "budget." The United
States has never tracked nuclear weapons-related spending
comprehensively, hindering effective oversight and weighing of
priorities in nuclear security policy.
