Plan Would Deactivate Nuclear Warheads
The Bush administration's Nuclear Posture Review would keep thousands of warheads in storage while removing them from active use. Officials say no fixed destruction target is set, with some deactivated warheads potentially retrievable for future use. The plan aligns with Putin’s pledge to cut arsenals but remains noncommittal on timing or totals.

Fired plant worker accused of threats at San Onofre
David Reza 43, a former San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station mechanic, was jailed after authorities found a cache of weapons including an anti tank rocket launcher and grenades. He allegedly threatened to kill coworkers after being fired, while officials say the plant itself was not threatened. Reza denied the threat, citing disputes with Southern California Edison and alleged harassment as an American Indian. Deputies recovered 54 weapons at his home and over 250 in a storage unit, with two deputies treated for exposure to tear gas.
