An upgrade of the UK’s Trident warhead factory has cost double its budget – and it is expected to take more than two further years to complete.
Funding of £2bn was allocated for rebuilding facilities between 2005 and 2015 at Berkshire’s two Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) sites.
AWE had spent £3.96bn by the end of the 2015/16 financial year, a Freedom of Information (FoI) request has revealed.
