...Why is the Department of Energy responsible for nuclear weapons?

[–] Forester@pawb.social 30 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Always has been.

Since back when the department of defense was the department of war.

The management, production / refinement, and transportation of nuclear materials are entirely monitored and controlled by DoE so it stands to reason the weapons are too.
