Accounting data for stored quantities of plutonium and highly-enriched uranium exclude (for uranium) materials in intact nuclear weapons, materials not in Department of Energy custody (e.g. Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Programįacility budget data reflect actual expenditures in 2001 (expressed in constant 2002 dollars). For information on formerly utilized sites, see the section below on transitional/closed facilities or visit the U.S. You can choose between a basic overview by function or a detailed overview by state and facility (data accurate as of 1996). Interactive map guides to the current and historical United States nuclear weapons and naval nuclear propulsion complex are available courtesy of the Office of Environmental Management at the U.S. These project pages should be considered historical.

Nuclear Weapons Since 1940 edited by Stephen I. Nuclear Weapons Cost Study Project was completed in August 1998 and resulted in the book Atomic Audit: The Costs and Consequences of U.S.
