Editing Insensitive munition (section)

===Use in nuclear weapons===
Insensitive high explosives have been available to the United States military for use in its nuclear weapons since 1979—by 1991, 25% of the country's nuclear stockpile was using IHE.<ref name="BAS">{{cite magazine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cwwAAAAAMBAJ|title=How Safe is Safe?|magazine=[[Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists]]|date=April 1991|pages=34–40|access-date=2021-01-25|archive-date=2014-07-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140723102838/http://books.google.com/books?id=cwwAAAAAMBAJ|url-status=live}}</ref> Most modern [[Nuclear weapons and the United States|American nuclear weapons]], and at least those of the [[United Kingdom]], are manufactured using insensitive munition designs. These are almost exclusively [[TATB]] [[polymer bonded explosive|plastic bonded explosive]] (LX-17-0 and [[PBX-9502]]). Conventional high explosives are still used in [[missile]]s and [[nuclear artillery]] shells where weight and volume is a factor (IHE by weight contains only two-thirds the energy of HE, so more is needed to achieve the same effect).<ref name="BAS"/>
