Also used on old "lighthouse" tubes used for uhf and low microwave applications 
fro the '40's and '50's.  If my memory serves me, these tubes were found in 
devices like the airborne APX-6 IFF Transponder in which the greatest hazard 
was the detonators used to destroy the device should a plane go down over enemy 
teritory...

An instrucor in the 70's made sure we were paranoid about both the berylium 
oxide and explosives...
