In its Yearbook 2014, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute also said that there was an emerging consensus among experts that North Korea has produced a small number of nuclear weapons. It put the number of Pyongyang’s nuclear warheads at 6-8.
While Russia and the U.S. still account for more than 93 percent of all nuclear weapons, all five recognized nuclear weapon states ― China, France, Russia, the U.K. and the U.S. ― are either deploying new nuclear weapons delivery systems or have announced programs to do so.
