A cikin 2008, Gwamnatin Obama ta ba da labarin kanun labarai ta hanyar ba da sanarwar shirin bunkasa makaman nukiliya na shekaru 10, dala biliyan 80. A cikin 2009, Mr. Obama ya yi alkawarin bin "duniya da ba ta da makaman nukiliya," amma hakan ya kasance.
A shekara ta 2010, sabbin tsare-tsare na yaki sun karu zuwa kimanin dala biliyan 355, saniya mai tsawon shekaru goma wanda ya kai dala tiriliyan 1 mai sanyi sama da shekaru 30. Majalisa da dattijai sun riga sun karbe babban kuɗaɗen a cikin takardar izinin soja - a cewar rahoton Satumba 22 New York Times.
Daya daga cikin sabbin wuraren samar da kayayyaki uku da aka bude kwanan nan - dala miliyan 700 da ba na nukiliya ba wanda Honeywell ke gudanarwa a birnin Kansas, Missouri. Sauran masana'antun sun haɗa da hadadden ƙirar uranium a wurin Y-12 a Oak Ridge, Tennessee; da aikin sarrafa plutonium a Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) a New Mexico. Shirye-shiryen biyu na ƙarshe sun haɓaka irin wannan hauhawar tsadar tsada wanda har fadar White House ta yi ƙyalli.
Shirye-shiryen samar da plutonium na LANL - da farko ana sa ran zai ci dala miliyan 660 - ya faɗaɗa zuwa goshin zinare na dala biliyan 5.8. An dakatar da aikin a shekara ta 2012, kuma injiniyoyi sun tafi aikin rage farashin. A Oak Ridge, sarrafa uranium "canyon" ya yi roka daga wani tsari na dala biliyan 6.5 zuwa ga rigar mafarkin dan kwangilar yaki na dala biliyan 19. Fadar White House ta dakatar da shirin a wannan shekara, kuma dakin gwaje-gwaje na sake tsara shirye-shiryen gyara al'adar nukiliyar ta tsawon shekaru 60.
Ana tallata sabon samar da H-bam a matsayin "farfadowa", "samun zamani", "gyara" da "inganta". Masu kwangilar makamai na kamfanoni da masu zaman kansu na majalisa suna amfani da kalmomin buzz ɗin da ke magana game da "babban yakin jirgin ruwa mai shekaru 40" (wanda aka sani da W-76), ko kuma waɗanda ke nuna damuwa game da "wuta, fashewa da raunuka a wurin aiki" "abin takaici" saboda kayan aikin "suna rushewa kullum", Times ta ruwaito.
Tsarin Yaƙi koyaushe yana watsi da ambaton cewa 15,000 plutonium warheads ana kiyaye su a halin yanzu a Pantex, Texas kuma suna da kyau don shekaru 50, a cewar The Guardian, 29 ga Satumba. Shirin gina bam na nukiliya na dala tiriliyan shi ne samar da sabbin kawuna 80 a duk shekara nan da shekarar 2030.
Sojoji a halin yanzu suna jibge da makaman nukiliya kusan 5,000 - akan jiragen ruwa na karkashin ruwa, makamai masu linzami na kasa, da kuma manyan bama-bamai. Wannan, ko da yake Shugaban Pentagon Chuck Hagel ya sanya hannu kan rahoto (kafin a nada shi aikinsa na yanzu) wanda ya gano cewa makaman nukiliya 900 ne kawai "wajibi ne." Rahoton na Hagel ya ba da shawarar soke kawuna 3,500 a halin yanzu da ke cikin shiri, yana mai cewa adadin na yaki ya fi girma fiye da yadda ake bukata.
Masu sa ido masu zaman kansu, karnuka masu lura da tankunan tunani sun yi jayayya shekaru da yawa cewa za a iya rage yawan makaman da za a iya rage hadarin gaske: a) ta hanyar rashin maye gurbin shugabannin yakin da suka yi ritaya; b) ta hanyar kawar da kai hare-hare daga “jijjiga”; da c) ta hanyar raba kawunan yaki da makamai masu linzami da bama-bamai.

Greg Mello na kungiyar Nazarin Los Alamos, wanda tsuntsaye ke kare dakin binciken yakin cacar baki, ya ce dalilin da ya sa ake la'akari da sabbin samar da bam na H-bam kwata-kwata ne kawai na sirri. Kamfanoni masu riba yanzu suna gudanar da dukkan dakunan gwaje-gwajen makaman nukiliya na gwamnati, tun daga lokacin da aka mayar da su masu zaman kansu a shekara ta 2006. Mello ya ce, "Kamfanonin makaman nukiliya sun kai girman Yaƙin Cold, kuma suna buƙatar Cold War don kiyaye girman wannan girman."
Bugu da ari, a cikin wani rahoto da aka fitar a bara, rundunar sojojin ruwa da kanta ta nuna shakku kan bukatar samar da sabbin shugabannin yaki. (Rundunar Sojin Ruwa na sarrafa akalla 1,152 warheads yada a cikin 14 Trident submarines.) Kuma James Doyle, 17 shekaru tsohon masanin kimiyya a Los Alamos National Laboratory (wanda aka kora a wannan Yuli 8 da ya gabata don buga wani masanin kimiyya da kansa ya buga labarin na kare makaman nukiliya) , ya gaya wa The Guardian, "Ban taɓa ganin an bayyana hujjar 50-zuwa-80-pits a kowace shekara nan da 2030 ba."
Jay Coghlan, na Nuclear Watch New Mexico, ya kadu da jawabin shugaban kasa sau biyu, yana gaya wa Guardian, "Kudirin da Obama ya gabatar na 2015 shine mafi girma da aka taba yi don bincike da samar da makaman nukiliya. Kuma a lokaci guda, suna rage kasafin kudin hana yaduwar cutar don biyan su.”
Dala tiriliyan 1 ba ta haɗa da ƙarin ƙarin biliyan ɗari don sabbin tsarin yaƙin nukiliya kamar:
