This week, the National Nuclear Security Administration said it had completed its final review of a powerful weapon based on the B61s and outlined the next steps to revamp several types of nukes.

Any weapon system that gets too great an advantage is destabilizing.

But we need to keep the number in service constant, so in order to be able to remanufacture the old ones, we need some new ones.
