The head of the nation’s nuclear weapons programs has proposed that Congress approve funds to study the feasibility of building of new nuclear warheads. This according to a report in the Washington Post. Linton Brooks, administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration said that the current Cold War stockpile is inadequate technically and militarily. Brooks said the warheads could be developed without the need of any nuclear tests–which are illegal under international treaties. Daryl Kimball of the Arms Control Association warned that Brooks is “trying to dress up a new nuclear weapons program in nice clothing.”
