Bush admin. drops 'bunker-buster' plan
The Bush administration has stopped research for a nuclear bunker buster and will develop one using conventional solutions.
The nuclear bunker buster's funding has been dropped from the Energy Department's fiscal 2006 budget.
Last April, a National Academy of Sciences panel concluded that an earth-penetrating nuclear device would likely cause the same casualties as a surface burst if the weapons are of the same size.
