Bomb Plants Could Shift to Control of Pentagon

Bomb Plants Could Shift to Control of Pentagon
from nytimes.com

Comment from the contributor:

From New York Times -- The Obama administration is considering shifting the management of nuclear weapons production from the Energy Department to the Pentagon, a move that would end more than 60 years of civilian control over nuclear bomb manufacture. The goal would be to better focus the Energy Department on the central priorities of the new administration: energy research, production and conservation.
