mini-nukes!? they love that term im sure.. but 'mini-nuke' isnt what im hearing about..
The 2004 budget request for nuclear weapons programs is $6.4 billion, an increase of almost $500 million over the current budget. (See
www.trivalleycares.org.) It boosts funding for a host of new and modified nuclear weapons including the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator, a nuclear bunker buster with a top yield of more than 60 times that of the Hiroshima bomb. It also begins to explore where to construct a new plutonium pit manufacturing plant capable of turning out more than 500 bomb cores each year.
