WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Nuclear Security Administration today announced that its Y-12 National Security Complex has completed the dismantlement of all components associated with the W70, thus eliminating these materials from the United States nuclear stockpile.
The W70 was a tactical nuclear weapons system deployed on the Lance missile as a mobile artillery tactical missile system. This weapon was retired in the early 1990’s as the last nuclear missile deployed by the U.S. Army.
