The U.S. Nuclear Stockpile Materials Production and New Weapons Requirements

Arms control negotiations have benefited the release of information on the number and characteristics of weapons systems. Much of the official data on the nuclear arsenals of the superpowers is now available to the public. Conspicuous in its absence, however, has been information about the size and characteristics of the nuclear stockpiles. William M. Arkin, Thomas B. Cochran and Milton M. Hoenig have pieced together the composition of the U.S. nuclear stockpile from open sources. The final picture they draw is critical in understanding the imperative for and implications of arms control.
