Meeting U.S. Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty Commitments

NNSA Workers Dismantle a B53 at its Pantex PlantThe United States is accelerating efforts to dismantle its nuclear weapons while bringing the overall U.S. nuclear stockpile down dramatically.  NNSA officials have briefed different U.N.-sponsored bodies on the U.S. record of compliance with the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and other U.S. efforts to advance nonproliferation.

President Bush directed in 2004 that the size of the overall nuclear weapons stockpile (both reserve and operationally deployed) be reduced nearly 50 percent from the time he entered office by 2012.  That goal was met five years early, so he further directed that the stockpile be reduced almost 15 percent more by 2012.  Currently, the stockpile is the smallest it has been since the Eisenhower administration.
