Over the next decade, the United States plans to spend $494 billion on its nuclear forces, or about $50 billion a year, according to a 2019 Congressional Budget Office report. This estimate is a 23 percent increase from the CBO’s projected cost at the end of the Obama administration. Over the next three decades, total modernization plans could cost as much as $1.5-$2 trillion.
