Pantex nuclear weapon assembly plant and the US Army used the T1534 to check the coded switches and the status of army nuclear warheads. This device will always leave the weapon in the locked state for safety reasons. It came into use starting in the mid-1970s. Filmed at the US national atomic museum at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque NM USA in 2010.
