It's a Fat Man replica! We have (or had) one here at the National Atomic Museum.
Eep!
Well, we hope it's a replica

...i don't think they'll be transporting something like that in a very expose manner.

Maybe not a replica but a real empty casing...and a heavy one too judging from how slow the truck was moving up the grade. If it were a replica would it need to be that heavy? Also look how heavy duty the skid it's sitting on is.
Anyway not a bad pic for a "no look" one handed shot...I'm pretty pleased

Fat Boy, not Fat Man

Its pretty impressive in size, yet still looking in an extreme retard era of technology.
I would imagine that todays "Fat Man" if designed today would look different.

Re: Fat Boy, not Fat Man
Sitting at my desk, looking at the mini-nuke on my Atomic Museum keychain, the little bomb is clearly emblazoned with the markings "fat man." You are mistaking the two nukes used, the other one being little boy.

I thought W-88's were minuteman warheads -- not gravity bombs.
Try these:
The guy sweeping makes it look so safe...
The original caption reads:
"B83 nuclear gravity bombs, each with estimated 1 megaton yield, Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana. 1995"
But nothing beats the soviet 100 megaton bomb. It was so large that it had an access hatch that you would climb in to service the bomb...
