US Details Nuclear Arsenal Plans
--------------------------------



The Obama administration has unveiled plans to reduce the US nuclear
arsenal by between 30 to 40 percent by 2021. The move would reduce the
US arsenal to between 3,000 to 3,500 warheads, a target that critics say
remains too high. The administration’s plan also calls for spending
nearly $175 billion by 2030 on new weapons production, facilities, as
well as modernizing existing weaponry.
