AMARILLO, Texas, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- A plant in Texas dismantled the last of America's largest Cold War-era nuclear weapons, a 10,000-pound B-53 bomb, officials at the plant said Tuesday.
Production of the B53 was halted in mid-1965 after more than 300 had been built at Pantex in Amarillo, Texas, America's only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility, the Amarillo Globe-News reported Tuesday.
