Abstract

If carried out, the plans for nuclear forces delineated in the Department of Defense's and the Department of Energy's fiscal year 2025 budget requests, submitted in March 2024, would cost a total of $946 billion over the 2025–2034 period, or an average of about $95 billion a year, CBO estimates. That 10-year total is $190 billion, or 25 percent, larger than CBO's 2023 estimate of $756 billion, which covered the 2023–2032 period.
