I find it interesting that the only thing you seem to want to discuss about my post is my conjecture that the Middle East could become radio active for a half life of thousands of years. I hope you know there are nuclear weapons capable of doing this.

I thank you for your gracious recommendation of books that could increase my knowledge of nuclear weapons, but I already know all I want to know about these weapons and I didn't gain this knowledge from books. (Well, maybe a few classified manuals.) After Vietnam, I served most of the 1970s on U.S. Army Special Forces SADM Teams and I came away with a good knowledge of these weapons and their capability.

Good day, Sir. I'm done with this thread.

Cobalt bombs. They are not common.

Quite apparently. Cresson Kearny was selected by Oak Ridge National Laboratory to develop and test workable means for Americans to survive nuclear war. You quite apparently have more interest in selling disinformation than learning anything.
