Nuclear Security Spending: Assessing Costs, Examining PrioritiesIn this 2009 report for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Stephen I. Schwartz and Deepti Choubey find that of the $5.2 billion in nuclear weapons-related funding in 2008, less than $700 million, or 1.3 percent, was dedicated to "prepare for the consequence of the use of these weapons, including continuity of government operations, training expert teams to detect and defuse weapons, and developing methods to trace the original source of materials used in such weapons."
