Now that New START has been extended, good next largely unilateral* steps include:
1) Declarative moratorium on nuclear testing and prepare to submit the CTBT (Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty) to the Senate;
2) End deployment of and funding for new nuclear warhead designs;
3) End the triad by phasing out land-based ICBMs;
4) Declare a No First Use policy;
5) Declare like-for-like retalitory policy;
6) End "Launch on Warning" policy;
7) Withdraw tactical nuclear weapons from Europe (starting with Turkey!);
8) Re-enter the Open Skies Treaty (technically a conventional step);
9) Begin work on new Nuclear strategy (Nuclear Posture Review);
10) Eliminate (burn as fuel) fissile material from excess "retired" US warheads.
That's off the top of my head.
