===Munitions storage=== Munitions storage bunkers are designed to securely store [[explosive]] [[Shell (projectile)|ordnance]] and contain any internal explosions. The most common configuration for [[high explosives]] storage is the [[igloo]] shaped bunker.{{Citation needed|date=February 2019}} They are often built into a hillside in order to provide additional containment mass. A specialized version of the munitions bunker called a [[Gravel Gertie]] is designed to contain [[radioactive]] debris from an explosive accident while assembling or disassembling [[nuclear warhead]]s. They are installed at all facilities in the United States and United Kingdom which do warhead assembly and disassembly, the largest being the [[Pantex]] plant in [[Amarillo, Texas]], which has 12 Gravel Gerties.<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 March 2022|title=Bunker: What is it, types and all you need to know |url=http://www.news9live.com/knowledge/bunker-what-is-it-types-and-all-you-need-to-know-157289 |access-date=4 September 2023|website=News9live |language=en-US}}</ref>
