In November and December 2006, the National Nuclear Security Administration, an agency of the Department of Energy, held 17 meetings in order to receive public comments in its process of preparing a programmatic environmental impact statement for “Complex 2030,” a multibillion-dollar program that would reorganize and consolidate nuclear weapons production facilities and build a major hydrogen bomb factory.
