Approaches for Managing the Costs of U.S. Nuclear Forces, 2017 to 2046

Congressional Budget Office

No 53211, Reports from Congressional Budget Office

Abstract: The Obama Administration’s 2017 plans for nuclear forces would cost about $1.2 trillion (in 2017 dollars) over the 2017–2046 period, CBO estimates. About $400 billion of that total would pay for modernization, according to CBO’s assessment of the most recent detailed plans for the Departments of Defense and Energy. CBO analyzed nine options that would reduce the 30-year costs of nuclear forces by between 2 percent and 11 percent if they were implemented for the next generation of systems (and more if they were implemented now).
