Possible damage to US nuclear bomb in Dutch base accident.

A US nuclear bomb stored at a Dutch air base may have been damaged in an accident, according to a report by the Federation of American Scientists. The photograph of a B61 bomb being inspected for damage by US soldiers was included in a 2022 presentation for student job applicants by Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. The B61 bomb is the only tactical nuclear weapon left in the US arsenal, and 100 of them are stored in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Turkey. The bombs remain US property, but air crews from six other NATO allies are trained to put them on planes and fly them. The new version, the B61-12, is due to be delivered to Europe.
