WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 Citando los peligros para la seguridad nacional de Estados Unidos que plantean los terroristas y los estados rebeldes que buscan armas nucleares, un grupo bipartidista de 26 senadores envi\u00f3 una carta la semana pasada al Director de la Oficina de Gesti\u00f3n y Presupuesto (OMB), Shaun Donovan, pidiendo Pide al Presidente que apoye una mayor financiaci\u00f3n en el presupuesto del a\u00f1o fiscal 2016 para asegurar y eliminar permanentemente m\u00e1s r\u00e1pidamente los materiales nucleares y radiol\u00f3gicos. La carta surge en respuesta a las propuestas del Presidente en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os de reducir la financiaci\u00f3n para los programas de seguridad y no proliferaci\u00f3n de materiales nucleares.<\/p>\n
Los senadores indicaron que el material nuclear no protegido plantea riesgos inaceptablemente altos para la seguridad de los estadounidenses y argumentaron que debe acelerarse el ritmo al que se aseguran y eliminan permanentemente los materiales nucleares y radiol\u00f3gicos. Los senadores expresaron su preocupaci\u00f3n de que recortar fondos ralentizar\u00eda lo que ha sido un proceso exitoso de eliminaci\u00f3n y reducci\u00f3n del uranio altamente enriquecido (UME) y el plutonio separado en la comunidad internacional. Tan s\u00f3lo en los \u00faltimos cinco a\u00f1os, los programas de seguridad nuclear y no proliferaci\u00f3n, como la Iniciativa de Reducci\u00f3n de Amenazas Globales (GTRI, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s), han demostrado ser exitosos en la eliminaci\u00f3n del UME y la separaci\u00f3n del plutonio de 13 pa\u00edses, incluida Ucrania.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cLa reducci\u00f3n de los presupuestos para agencias y programas que ayudan a mantener los materiales nucleares y radiol\u00f3gicos fuera del alcance de los terroristas no est\u00e1 en sinton\u00eda con la alta prioridad que el Presidente ha otorgado correctamente a la seguridad del material nuclear y radiol\u00f3gico y se\u00f1ala un retroceso importante en el esfuerzo por bloquear reducir estos materiales a un ritmo acelerado\u201d, escribieron los senadores. "La reciente oleada de terrorismo en Irak, Pakist\u00e1n y Kenia es un recordatorio desgarrador de la importancia de garantizar que los grupos terroristas y los Estados rebeldes no puedan hacerse con las armas y materiales m\u00e1s peligrosos del mundo". <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
En los \u00faltimos dos a\u00f1os fiscales, el Congreso ha promulgado $280 millones de d\u00f3lares adicionales a la financiaci\u00f3n propuesta por el Presidente para las principales actividades de no proliferaci\u00f3n de la Administraci\u00f3n Nacional de Seguridad Nuclear (NNSA).<\/p>\n
Los senadores se\u00f1alaron que el proyecto de ley de Energ\u00eda y Agua de la c\u00e1mara para el a\u00f1o fiscal 2015 aument\u00f3 la financiaci\u00f3n para programas clave m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la solicitud del Presidente, asignando $136 millones adicionales para el GTRI, $50 millones para el programa Internacional de Protecci\u00f3n y Cooperaci\u00f3n de Materiales Nucleares y $33 millones para investigaci\u00f3n. y desarrollo. Solicitaron que el Presidente apoyara esos niveles en su solicitud de presupuesto de Energ\u00eda y Agua del Senado para el a\u00f1o fiscal 2016.<\/p>\n
Dirigida por el senador Jeff Merkley (D-OR) y la senadora Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), la carta tambi\u00e9n fue firmada por: Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Al Franken (D- MN), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Tom Harkin (D-IA), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Brian Schatz (D-HI) , Chris Coons (D-DE), Tom Udall (D-NM), Ed Markey (D-MA), Bob Casey, Jr. (D-PA), Carl Levin (D-MI), Lindsay Graham (R-SC ), Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Angus King (I-ME), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Jon Tester (D-MT), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Tim Johnson (D-SD) y Ron Wyden (D-OR).<\/p>\n
