BA53 Nuclear Bomb

            Pima Air and Space Museum

B53 Physics Package 
In service (estimated) 1962 present. 

The B53 Physics Package encased the nuclear material for the B53 nuclear bomb. This package was then inserted into a slightly larger bomb case. The B53 gravity bomb contained enough enriched uranium to produce a 9 megaton blast. Weighing nearly 9000 lbs the bomb was intended to be delivered by large bomber aircraft like the B-47 Stratojet, the B-58 Hustler, and the B-52 Stratofortress and the physics package is very similar to the warhead delivered by the Titan II missile. While most have been removed from service, it is likely that some remain in the U.S. nuclear stockpile.
