The W74 was an experimental American nuclear artillery shell.Responding to a 1969 United States Army request for a replacement for the W48 155 mm artillery shell the Los Alamos National Laboratory started development of the W74. However by mid 1973 the program was discontinued without producing a weapon for general production. The primary reasons for the cancellation of the W74 were the obsolete technology used and high cost.
