Beginning with the development of the nuclear bomb in 1945, the US
has maintained a leadership role in nuclear weapons design.
However, since the end of the Cold War, the nuclear weapons complex
(NWC) (created to design, manufacture, maintain, test and
ultimately dismantle nuclear weapons and their components) has
consolidated and been insufficiently maintained. The Undersecretary
of Defense for Policy, Douglas Feith, summarized the NWC status in
Congressional testimony, "For example, the United States today is
the only nuclear weapons state that cannot remanufacture
replacements or produce new nuclear weapons." The US must reverse
this trend.
