Join Us on Monday for a workshop on how to comment on NNSA's Scoping Period: Programmatic EIS on Expanded Plutonium Pit Production! This is an important opportunity to comment on a national plan that essentially means nuclear weapons forever. Let's protest this together with your help and comments!

For additional context ➡️ "The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is moving forward with plans to produce plutonium pits—the bomb cores of thermonuclear weapons—at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and the Savannah River Site in South Carolina despite no demonstrated need."

A black-and-white photo shows a technician standing beside a large spherical metal object being assembled in a lab, representing a nuclear weapon core. Overlaid text reads: "The US plans to spend $38 billion on new explosive cores for nuclear weapons." The logo of the Union of Concerned Scientists appears in the bottom left corner.
