What is the design lifetime of a US nuclear weapon?
EcclesJordanTrigger
20 to 40 years, depending on the exact design. Most were never kept in stockpile that long. However as we can't test new designs several stockpile weapons are now beyond their design lifetime.
The early ones had some components with a shelf life under 6 months, but frequent replacement of those components could keep them usable for many years.
