Future US Nuclear Spending Likely to Remain Strong
Modernization costs for America's aging nuclear arsenal will be expensive but will not exceed 5 percent of national defense spending in the coming decades, according to projections by the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.
Upgrading and maintaining the US nuclear force posture will cost more than $700 billion over the next 25 years, the CSBA's study states. Even as annual costs exceed $34 billion in the 2020s and 2030s, they will account for 5 percent or less of overall defense spending.
