Cobalt 60 would be a better salting medium.

Maybe they are looking for something that wouldn’t persist as long?

The way the article is written it is not the half-life they are talking about, but a heightened extent of the fallout.

Never heard such.

I think I understand it now. It ends up with only a short 114 day half life after having a high Gamma Ray component, making it stronger or more through. So the area isn’t increased as much as the effective area of dangerous radioactive fallout.

Well, isn’t that special.

And we knew that in the 1950s.
