U.S. Disassembled More Nukes Than Planned in Fiscal 2012

The U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration on Monday said it had disassembled 12 percent more nuclear weapons than anticipated in fiscal 2012.
The program for the budget year that ended on Sept. 30 covered B-61 and B-83 bombs as well as W-76, W-80, W-84 and W-78 warheads. An exact number of disassembled weapons was not provided in a press release from the semiautonomous Energy Department branch that oversees the U.S. nuclear arms complex.http://www.nti.org/gsn/article/us-disassembled-more-nukes-planned-fy12/
