This electronic device is commonly used as the "trigger" that initiates the detonation sequence of an atomic weapon.  Name it.

The first line of defense against unauthorized activation is a lock on the weapon. The earliest locks were mechanical combination locks, but since the early 1960s a more sophisticated system called a "permissive action link" (PAL) has been increasingly employed. A PAL is an electronic (originally electro-mechanical) device that prevents arming the weapon unless the correct codes are inserted into it. Two different codes must be inserted, simultaneously or close together. This is the "two man rule" principle - which requires it to be impossible to arm any nuclear weapon through the actions of a single individual. The codes are usually changed on a regular schedule. PALs have been developed in several versions of increasing sophistication, designated A through F. PAL
Category Description
(none) Mechanical combination lock
A Four-digit, 10-position electromechanical coded switch (most retired or replaced by 1987)
B Ground & airplane-operable 4-digit coded switch (later version with limited try followed by lockout until reset)
C Single-code 6-digit switch, limited try followed by lockout
D Multiple-code 6-digit switch, limited try followed by lockout
F Multiple-code 12-digit switch, limited try followed by lockout
Once the PAL has been enabled, it now possible to arm and fire the weapon. The "unique signal generator" is a technique for making the weapon extremely discriminating about the arming signal so that spoofing signals, noise, or other interference will not cause arming. There is a signal recognition system in the weapon that responds only to a single, very specific, complex signal. This signal is produced by the unique signal generator (which is actually outside the weapon). A more recent approach has been to replace the unique (analog) signal approach with digital communinications and codes.

It was Dresden1 in Morris, Ill.  The reactor was started in 1959 and the plant was officially commissioned in 1960.  Where would we be without Google?
