Weapons were not stored inside this facility. "A Structures" were used for storing nuclear capsules inside special carriers known as "birdcages." These carriers were pressurized to keep contaminants out, and were fitted with standoff struts to prevent any criticality incidents with other capsules. www.3084adg.us/capsule_storage_and_maintenance.htm
