Russia is said to have had an arsenal of 40,000 tons of chemical weapons in 1997 and around 19,000 nuclear power weapons stockpiled in 2002 with perhaps only 8,500 of them operational. Russia had destroyed 1% of its chemical agents by the Chemical Weapons Convention's 2002 deadline but requested assistance and a deadline extension.
