    Appendix 13A. World Nuclear Forces, 2006

    Appendix 13A. World nuclear forces, 2006 SHANNON N. KILE, VITALY FEDCHENKO and HANS M. KRISTENSEN I. Introduction While world attention is focused on the nuclear programmes of Iran and North Korea, eight states possess about 12 100 operational nuclear weapons (see table 13A.1).1 Several thousand nuclear weapons are kept on high alert, ready to be launched within minutes. If all nuclear warheads are counted—operational warheads, spares, and those in both active and inactive storage—the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan and Israel together possess a total of more than 27 000 warheads. None of the five legally recognized nuclear weapon states, as defined by the 1968 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), appears to be planning to disarm its nuclear arsenal in the foreseeable future.2 Russia and the USA are in the process of reducing their operational nuclear forces as a result of two bilateral treaties—the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START I Treaty) and the 2002 Strategic Offensive Reduc- tions Treaty (SORT).3 In the USA, implementation of the 2001 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR)4 has begun on all aspects of the nuclear postures. This includes a reduction by ‘almost half’ of the total stockpile by 2012 and the development of new ballistic missiles, strategic submarines, long-range bombers, new or modified nuclear weapons, nuclear weapon production facilities, nuclear command and control sys- tems, and modified nuclear war plans. Similarly, Russia has announced its plan to reduce mainly land-based strategic missiles but also to retain for another decade, rather than dismantling, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) equipped with multiple, independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRVs).

    Annex a – FY 2011 Stockpile Stewardship Plan

    FY 2011 Stockpile Stewardship Plan “So today, I state clearly and with conviction America's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons. I'm not naive. This goal will not be reached quickly –- perhaps not in my lifetime. It will take patience and persistence. But now we, too, must ignore the voices who tell us that the world cannot change. …we will reduce the role of nuclear weapons in our national security strategy, and urge others to do the same. Make no mistake: As long as these weapons exist, the United States will maintain a safe, secure and effective arsenal to deter any adversary, and guarantee that defense to our allies…But we will begin the work of reducing our arsenal.” President Barack Obama April 5, 2009 – Prague, Czech Republic Our budget request represents a comprehensive approach to ensuring the nuclear security of our Nation. We must ensure that our strategic posture, our stockpile, and our infrastructure, along with our nonproliferation, arms control, emergency response, counterterrorism, and naval propulsion programs, are melded into one comprehensive, forward-leaning strategy that protects America and its allies. Maintaining our nuclear stockpile forms the core of our work in the NNSA. However, the science, technology, and engineering that encompass that core work must continue to focus on providing a sound foundation for ongoing nonproliferation and other threat reduction programs. Our investment in nuclear security is providing the tools that can tackle a broad array of national challenges – both in the security arena and in other realms. And, if we have the tools, we will need the people to use them effectively.
