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.

Why are nuclear weapons a good thing?
Nuclear weapons are a good thing for the United States because they prevent others from using nuclear weapons on the US. In general, the world would probably be a better place without nuclear weapons if it weren't for the fact that they lead to research in all fields of Nuclear Engineering, like Nuclear Power plants and Nuclear Physics. Since nuclear weapons already exist in the world, for the US to get rid of their nuclear weapons would be unwise. Countries that dislike nuclear weapons or even radical terrorist cells and organizations would now have no reason not to launch a nuclear warhead at the US since no retaliation would occur. The strategy of nuclear weapons preventing others from using them against the US is called the Deterrent Strategy.
When did Russia and US disarm nuclear weapons?
Never, both still have them. They did disassemble some but not all by any means.
