 Cobalt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cobalt (IPA: /ˈkəʊbɒlt/) is a hard, lustrous, silver-gray metal, a chemical element with symbol Co.
Metallic cobalt commonly presents a mixture of two crystallographic structures hcp and fcc with a transition temperature hcp→fcc of 722 K. Common oxidation states of cobalt include +2, and +3, though +1 is also seen.
Cobalt oxides are antiferromagnetic at low temperature: CoO (Neel temperature 291 K) and Co (Neel temperature: 40 K).

Cobalt (chemical symbol Co) is a metal that may be stable (nonradioactive, as found in nature), or unstable (radioactive, man-made).
Nonradioactive cobalt occurs naturally in various minerals, and has been used for thousands of years to impart blue color to ceramic and glass.
Cobalt (including cobalt-60) is a hard, brittle, gray metal with a bluish tint.

 Vault-C0 » Myths About The Doomsday Bomb & Cobalt-60   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
Cobalt radiation products do not give off super-powerful radiation that cannot be attenuated by shielding, nor do such weapons have any unusual properties to distinguish them from regular nukes outside of the fact that the half-life of decay is much longer than expected, as long as five years in some instances.
The reality of a truly apocalyptic nuclear war that included the use of cobalt salted weapons is that shelter inhabitants might have to stay as long as a year underground in some conditions.
I can see people who do not have fixed shelters surviving a cobalt salted nuclear war if they were able to prepare a little in advance, say in an underground parking garage or similar shelter, with sufficient water/food or access to same and enough time to get their gear together.

 cobalt
Cobalt occurs in the mineral cobaltite, smaltite, and erythrite, and is often associated with nickel, silver, lead, copper, and iron ores, from which it is most frequently obtained as a by-product.
Cobalt is also used in other magnet steels and stainless steels, and in alloys used in jet turbines and gas turbine generators.
Cobalt molybdenum alloys are used for the desulfurization of high-sulfur bituminous coal, and cobalt iron alloys in the hydrocracking of crude oil shale and in coal liquefaction.

 [No title]
Cobaltite, the other major cobalt alloy, is silver white to red in color and has a metallic luster.
The specific gravity of cobaltite is between 6 and 6.4, and the hardness (the ability of a solid substance to resist surface deformation or abrasion) is 5.5.
Cobalt is also used in ceramics and paint driers, and as a catalyst.

 The Never-Tested Doomsday Bomb
The theorized cobalt bomb is, on the contrary, a radioactively "dirty bomb having a cobalt tamper.
Instead of generating additional explosive force from fission of the uranium, the cobalt is transmuted into cobalt-60, which has a half-life of 5.26 years and produces energetic (and thus penetrating) gamma rays.
The idea of the cobalt bomb originated with Leo Szilard who publicized it in Feb. 1950, not as a serious proposal for weapon, but to point out that it would soon be possible in principle to build a weapon that could kill everybody on earth.

 Cobalt-60 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cobalt-60 is a radioactive isotope of cobalt, with a half life of 5.27 years.
Cobalt-60 is also the active isotope in a so-called cobalt bomb, a form of nuclear weapon.
An example was the radiation accident from December 6, 1983, where a discarded radiation therapy source caused contamination of 5000 metric tons of steel.

 Food irradiation's nuclear source, cobalt-60: Could it be used for dirty bombs?'
If turned into fine particles and dispersed under the right weather conditions, the cobalt could spread enough radiation to force the abandonment of an area the size of Manhattan, the scientists said.
But federal and industry officials said such an action with radioactive cobalt was unlikely because of the intense radiation to which the person trying to use the weapon would be exposed and because the material is transported in secret and kept behind tons of lead and other shielding while on the road or in use.
Kelly offered a case study of what might happen if a dirty bomb containing a cobalt food irradiation bar exploded at the southern tip of Manhattan on a day with a light wind blowing toward the northeast.

 COBALT 60 Finally Gets An Official Version? - Comic Book Resources Forums
"Cobalt 60" was one of the many inspirations for Ralph Bakshi's WIZARDS; the poster for the movie is based on the splash panel to the original Vaugh Bode' comic.
When the film premiered many moons ago in L.A., some justice-minded fans hacked the marquee one night to read "A Film By Vaughn Bode'" instead of "A Film By Ralph Bakshi" (a photo of this was on display at the now defunct The Change Of Hobbit bookstore for many years).
I'll be frank, "Cobalt 60" is not my favorite Bode' work.

 Snyder to Cobalt 60 - Cinematical
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Snyder has been attached to direct the big-screen version of the cult comic book Cobalt 60 for Universal.
Instead, a search for a writer to adapt the story of masked hero Cobalt 60's thirst for revenge in a post-apocalyptic world full of mutants, on the evil Strontium 90 who murdered his parents, is currently underway.
It's a good thing Snyder picked up Cobalt 60 now that 300 has wrapped and his big-screen adaptation of Tom Clancy's novel Rainbow Six is probably not going to happen for awhile, or ever, because I want him to have a job after he finishes Watchmen.
