Just in time for summer, America's oldest nuclear bomb gets a
makeover.The Pantex Plant has delivered its first fully modernized B61 nuclear bomb, part of a six-year program to extend the service life of the oldest weapon in the U.S. atomic stockpile, National Nuclear Security Administration officials announced Friday.
The overall project, part of NNSA's Life Extension Program, will extend the service lives of the B61 mod-7 and the B61 Mod 11, a nuclear bunker buster, by at least 20 years.
