There are 14,215 nuclear weapons in nine countries around the world.
US, Russia, UK, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea have nuclear capacity .
The United States and Russia own 92% of them.
After peaking in the mid-1980s, the global arsenal shrank by more than three quarters.
Over the past 30 years, more countries have abandoned weapons and programs than they have tried to obtain.
Statistics include weapons that are either in storage or are being retired.
