Where were nuclear weapons built?

In the U.S. they were originally built at Los Alamos, NM. When the production rates became too high for Los Alamos (and when the Livermore, CA lab began making successful designs) a plant was built at Rocky Flats, CO to build them. It is shut down now because of too much Plutonium contamination and lack of need for new weapons.

I think the PanTex plant in TX now handles all weapon refurbishing.
