No source, but I remember that the US developed a nuclear cannon
shell. The problem was that the gun  could not reach a distance that
was outside outside the nuclear danger area of the explosion. Then
there was the nuclear device that could be carried by one man.

I was driven around the Washington Beltway once by a relative who
lived near there. My, those shiny offices.

Catch-22 was not that far out.
