This and many other weapons are on view at the Atomic Museum in Albuquerque,
NM.  The museum is on the airbase (sorry, I forget the name) and has a lot
of interesting displays including an "atomic cannon" (used to fire an a-bomb
artillery round), B-52, reentry vehicles, etc.  In fact, it's surprising just
how much is there - you somehow expect this stuff to still be classified, or
at least not preserved and on display (it's even free - your defense dollar
at work).
