The renovation of the nuclear weapon arsenal of the United States is the modernization, refurbishment and rebuilding of the nuclear arsenal of the United States of America. Facilities for maintenance and refurbishment of U.S. nuclear weapons became dilapidated after the end of the Cold War with the Soviet Union. The United States planned to spend about a trillion dollars over thirty years to rectify this shortfall, which some saw as a reversal from President Barack Obama's 2009 Prague speech that laid out his agenda for further nuclear disarmament, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009. In 2015, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists set their Doomsday Clock closer to midnight to highlight this development. ==Budget projection== Analysts at the Monterey Institute of International Studies have projected likely expenditure on the program, based upon section 1251 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 and other official briefings. Their summary breaks down the 30 year budget in billions of dollars as follows: * 350 for the National Nuclear Security Administration which runs the facilities which research, develop and produce nuclear weapons * 240 to 270 for maintenance of the existing triad of bombers, land-based missiles and submarine-launched missiles * 120 for command, control and communications * 20 to 120 for a successor to the Minuteman missile. * 77 to 102 for Ohio class submarines to carry missiles * 55 to 100 for a new strategic bomber to succeed the B2 * 10 to 20 for a long range standoff missile making a total of $872 billion to $1.082 trillion. $348 billion have already been committed for the first ten years of the program. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Renovation of the nuclear weapon arsenal of the United States」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
