This number represents an 88% reduction in stockpiles from the peak of 31,255 warheads at the end of fiscal year 1967 and an 83% reduction from the level of 22,217 warheads at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall in late 1989.

The NNSA indicated that from fiscal years 1994 to 2023, the United States dismantled 12,088 nuclear warheads. Since September 30, 2020, the United States has dismantled 405 nuclear warheads. Approximately 2,000 additional nuclear warheads are currently decommissioned and awaiting dismantlement.

The number of non-strategic nuclear weapons in the United States has been reduced by more than 90% since September 30, 1991.
