While even one nuke in a Western City would be Very Bad News, its
legitimate to wonder how many Soviet nuclear bombs are operational.

American nukes, and presumably Soviet/Russian ones, have the inital
fission element include a neutron generator as part of the ignition.
This uses some isotopes of relatively short half-lifes, such as tritium,
which gives the bombs a limited shelf life before they need to be
refurbished.
