Source: "Although other tanks have been exposed to atomic testing, amongst them a couple of British Centurion tanks deployed within the Maralinga, South Australia target area during the Buffalo series of atomic tests in the latter half of the 1950s, 169041 is the only tank known to have withstood atomic tests and subsequently gone on for another 23 years of service, including 15 months on operational deployment in a war zone."
