Who's got the bomb? And how many? Find out with a look at
Nuclear Numbers, compiled by the
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (
http://www.carnegieendowment.org/). Apparently, there are 2,500 weapons on hair-trigger alert around the world. That's pretty grim. Also
Russia has more than 5,800 nuclear warheads, five times what the US has. The report comprises
recent information about the composition of global nuclear weapons stockpiles, approximately 5000 megatons in total. Find it at
