Nuclear shell for the 280 mm Atomic Cannon.
At the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History, Albuquerque, New Mexico. This museum also covers nuclear theory, uranium mining, powerplants, and such peaceful pursuits, but I am more interested in things that blow up!
The atomic cannon was built by the United States in the mid-1950s to hurl nuclear shells far enough that they wouldn't kill the people who fired them. The first atomic cannon went into service in 1952, and was deactivated in 1963. A single 280mm shell was fired seven miles at the Nevada Test site on May 25, 1953. Twenty Atomic Cannon were manufactured; at least 8 appear to have survived the Cold War and are on public display today. The largest atomic cannon sits atop a hill overlooking Fort Riley, Kansas.
