no, but we are refurbishing old ones periodically: replacing aged and worn out components. Most of the current arsenal of nuclear weapons are now refurbished. Its much cheaper than building new.
Edit: It should also be added that the majority of refurbishing is do to ensuring safe storage until time of deactivation and not maintaining arms.
At current disarming rates the US will have less nukes per capita than France by 2020. Although will not go much further than those levels.
The largest obstacle faced by US disarmament is the lack of qualified individuals who can safely dismantle a 80 year old bomb.
