U.S. to unveil new plans to further reduce nuclear arsenal

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Barack Obama is slated to compile
and unveil soon, possibly by the end of this month, plans to further reduce
the country's nuclear arsenal, high-level U.S. officials said Friday.
The U.S. government would seek, through future negotiations with Russia, a
substantially larger reduction in operational strategic nuclear weapons from
the 1,550 the United States is allowed to maintain under a new START treaty
with Moscow.
The United States would also explore the possibility for unilaterally
abandoning a portion of the roughly 3,000 reserve warheads not yet deployed,
the officials said.
While the Obama administration is making final adjustments over the size of
the reduction target for operational strategic nuclear weapons, one official
floated the possibility of reducing the number to about 1,000.
