I wanted to post this in that thread for keyboard media sightings, but I couldn't find it.
Mythbusters, Collection 4, Episode 7, "Airplane on a Conveyor Belt"
An IBM Model F AT is used at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
You can see the keyboard around 13:45.

Me want!
I ran out of Cobalt 60 this morning, need to go buy some from the grocery store.
It's annoying how sometimes you run out, other times it goes bad in the fridge.
Damned short half-life.

Speaking of radioactive keyboards, Ripster seems to be the expert on this subject:
OK - I got a good idea who the Geekhacker who sent him that is.
You know that you won't really feel a difference - the number pad ENTER key works fine without a stabilizing bar!
Next I think I'll send him this question:
Q: Did you know that Plant F2 was located in Dauphin County in Pennsylvania? Looking at the date code your keyboard was built while the Thee Mile Island reactor was blowing up making it highly likely your keyboard is highly reactive.
I will take it off your hands for a decontamination fee of $3,299.
A: **** off ***********
Someone put this Ebay seller out of his misery. Still no bids.
