The B61 is also variable yield (0.3 KT to 340KT), a larger range.

The Tritium and Li components in these hydrogen-bomb derivative weapons are not being refreshed either.

I believe the high-yield (340 KT) version of the B61 is no longer in service. With the SRAM II missile, the yield of the weapon can be reduced, too.
