Kansas City and the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Complex Jay Coghlan Executive Director, Nuclear Watch New Mexico June 17, 2010 Please visit for this presentation and much more on the Kansas City Plant, the Los Alamos National Laboratory, nuclear weapons policies and the research and production complex.

What is a Nuclear Weapon Made Of? KCP specializes in nonnuclear components, such as firing and arming systems, radars, guidance systems, reservoirs for tritium, setting foams and adhesives.

How the Complex Works

KCP is NNSA’s Most Productive Facility KCP produces and/or procures 100,000 parts annually, that is 85% of all components that go into a nuclear warhead by both type and quantity.

Kansas City Will Own a Federal Nuclear Weapons Plant Kansas City will own a new federal nuclear weapons production plant. What about schools, hospitals? What about clean up and green jobs at the old Plant?

Kansas City Will Own a Federal Nuclear Weapons Plant “In the interest of the public health, safety, morals or welfare of the residents,” a s oybean field was declared blighted for municipal tax breaks for private developers. Quote from Missouri Revised Statutes, Industrial Development, Section , August 28, “A view to the southwest in the central portion of the redevelopment area.” (Photograph No. 4, Blight Study, May 20, 2008)

Where’s the Money for Cleanup?

NNSA spends $3.7 million annually to pump and treat groundwater contamination (solvents and PCBs). Cost for demo and clean up of existing contamination has been estimated as high as $287 million. (Source: Relocation of Non-Nuclear Production to an Alternate Location Business Case, NNSA, October 2007, p. 17) What federal agency will be responsible for final cleanup of the old plant? Map of contamination plumes in groundwater at KCP html

A New Kansas City Plant Is Not Needed The workload of the new Plant was originally predicated on new-design Reliable Replacement Warheads (RRWs) and massive Life Extension Programs. Congress and the President have rejected RRWs. CLEAN UP, DON’T BUILD UP!
