They have a warhead capacity of roughly 3,800, and current soviet plans Call for raising the number by 1980 to 7,500, with individual warheads having significantly higher yields than those of the United states.

The Institute said that development of the . Neutron warhead was under Way and the Institute s British Deputy director retired Brig. Kenneth Hunt said All Prepa rations for production of the new weapon had been completed. President Carter is expected to decide soon whether the warhead will be produced.
