I wanted to bring some perspective on your section about nuclear weapons facilities. While I am in agreement the defense sector needs more competition, the nuclear security enterprise does not function in a similar capitalistic/competitive manner that DOD procurement does. All DOE/NNSA sites are government owned/contractor operated. This would mean that even the addition of another assembly/disassembly plant would not be capable of reducing overall costs for building nuclear weapons. The two sites would never be competing with each other to see which can assemble/dissemble warheads the ‘cheapest.’ Further, the cost to build another nuclear site is astronomical. Take a look at pit production in Savannah River, turning the old MOX facility into a pit production site is going to cost at least $6.9 – $11.1 billion and many years to do so. There is limited political capital to even support our current modernization plans.
