前不久,美国《原子科学家公报》发表了题为《2005年美国核力量》的文章,较为详细地描述了美国战略战术核力量现状,现编译如下。截至今年1月,美国核武库有约有5300枚用于实战的核弹头,其中包括4530枚战略核弹头和780枚非战略核弹头,总数比2004年减少约1700枚,另外还有5000枚弹头作为“应急反应的后备力量”或处于非现役状态(氚被取走)。未来,美国将继续削减实战部署和库存的核弹头。2004年6月,美国能源部宣布,目前库存的核弹头“近一半”将在2012年前退役并最终被撤除。估计目前库存的1.035万枚核弹头在2012年前将削减到6000枚。
Not long ago, the United States “Atomic Scientist's Bulletin” published an article entitled “The 2005 U.S. Nuclear Force,” which described in detail the status quo of the U.S. strategic and tactical nuclear forces. The translation is as follows. As of January this year, the U.S. nuclear arsenal has some 5,300 nuclear warheads for actual combat, including 4,530 strategic nuclear warheads and 780 non-strategic nuclear warheads, a total of 1,700 fewer than in 2004 and an additional 5,000 warheads as “emergency Reactive reserve ”or inactive (tritium removed). In the future, the United States will continue to reduce its actual deployment and inventory of nuclear warheads. In June 2004, the U.S. Department of Energy announced that “nearly half” of the current stocks of nuclear warheads will be decommissioned by 2012 and will eventually be removed. It is estimated that 103500 nuclear warheads currently in stock will be reduced to 6,000 by 2012.
