Abstract
Nuclear warheads from Pershing 2 missiles eliminated under INF were converted and scheduled to return to air bases in Europe. The reuse question returned in the strategic arms reduction (START) talks in Geneva, which upon completion will eliminate thousands of weapons over a seven-year period. The US is aware that Soviet warheads are more generic in design than their US counterparts and could be reused to an even greater extent. While defense planners may concoct esoteric needs and characteristics to justify new nuclear weapons requirements, no justification has been offered for these new nuclear bombs entering the stockpile. The hard truth is that the Energy Department needs the work.
