Pueblo Chemical Depot
The Pueblo Chemical Depot is a chemical weapons storage site located in Pueblo County, Colorado, United States. The Pueblo Chemical Depot is one of the last two sites in the United States with chemical munitions and chemical material. The Pueblo Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant (PCAPP) which is under the Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives (ACWA) program will destroy its stockpile of 155-mm and 105-mm artillery shells and 4.2-in. mortars, all of which contain a form of the chemical agent mustard.
The depot houses 2,611 tons (2,369 metric tons) of mustard agent in approximately 780,000 munitions, equivalent to about seven percent of the original chemical material stockpile of the United States.
Most of the “Igloos” in this photo are decommissioned and available for use by public. The igloos inside the light-colored square at the bottom of the photo are where the remaining chemical stockpile is stored.

Sadako Sasaki was exposed to the bombing at age two, contracted leukemia ten years later and died. Shocked by her death, her classmates put out a national call to "build a monument to mourn all the children who died from the atomic bombing." With the support of students in more than 3,100 schools around Japan and in nine other countries, including England, the Society was able to build this bronze statue that stands nine meters high.
On the top of the three-legged pedestal stands the bronze figure of a girl holding up a gold-colored "folded" crane. On opposite sides of the pedestal are suspended boy and girl figures symbolizing a bright future and hope. On the stone underneath the pedestal is inscribed, "This is our cry. This is our prayer. For building peace in this world."
The monument was created by Kazuo Kikuchi, then a professor of Tokyo University of Fine Arts and Music. A gold crane modeled after an ancient bronze bell initially hung under a bell inside the tower. This piece was contributed by Dr. Hideki Yukawa, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics, who was much moved by the feelings of the children. It was made as a wind chime. (At present, the bell and golden crane are exhibited in the first-floor lobby of the East Building of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.)

So - 'How'? - I just went to the museum, pet it on the side :)
In fact, it happened in my early childhood when I lived in the town of Semipalatinsk. The town has a place in the Cold War history.
The Soviet nuclear testing site was 'coincidentally' located south-west of it, covering a large chunk of stony, deserty terrain, a mix of hills and plains running all the way down to the big mountains in the south.
Oh, yes, we could feel it when 'it goes....'
P.S. Just found THIS...
