US to announce new nuclear warhead

WASHINGTON (AFP) -
The new weapon would not add to but replace the nations existing arsenal of aging warheads, with a new generation meant to be sturdier, more reliable, safer from accidental detonation and more secure from theft by terrorists, the report said.
The effort, if approved byPresident George W. Bush and financed by Congress, would require a huge refurbishment of the nations complex for nuclear design and manufacturing, with the overall bill estimated at more than 100 billion dollars, the report said.
But the councils decision also raises the question of whether the United States will ultimately be forced to end its moratorium on underground nuclear testing to make sure the new design works, The Times pointed out.
At a time when the administration is trying to convince the world to impose sanctions on North Korea and Iran to halt their nuclear programs, critics argue, any move to improve the US arsenal will be seen as hypocritical, the paper pointed out.
