Figure 21: Naval Storage Site on Kola Peninsula Russian Non-Strategic Nuclear Weapons This apparent naval nuclear weapon storage site (69°0'40.14"N, 33°39'1.21"E) is located 10 kilometers southeast of the Northern Fleet base at Severomorsk.

The number of storage sites, which also stores strategic warheads, has been reduced significantly since 1991. Shortly before the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991, there were roughly 500 nuclear storage facilities. By the mid-1990s, the number had declined to 67 Federation of American Scientists www.FAS.org
