I thought this was going to be Amarillo, Texas, because of the Pantex plant.<p>There was a book from the early 1980s focusing on the religious beliefs of some of the nuclear weapons workers there<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Blessed-Assurance-Home-Amarillo-Texas&#x2F;dp&#x2F;0815605080" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Blessed-Assurance-Home-Amarillo-Texas...</a><p>which tried to convey some of the cultural and psychological tensions about working on these weapons, and how people dealt with them.
