COBALT THORIUM G …
Hmmmm … an idea … Go Ahead! … call the bluff … bring on the catastrophe … lets see if “they”, whoever “they” are, are as prepared as “they” think
'they" are … it might also reveal that “other” groups are not as prepared for “the end of days” as they think they are …
Dialog from Dr. Strangelove …
DeSadeski:
When it is detonated, it will produce enough lethal radioactive fallout so that within ten months, the surface of the earth will be as dead as the moon!
Turgidson:
Ah, come on DeSadeski, that’s ridiculous. Our studies show that even the worst fallout is down to a safe level after two weeks.
DeSadeski:
You’ve obviously never heard of cobalt thorium G.
Turgidson:
No, what about it?
DeSadeski:
Cobalt thorium G has a radioactive halflife of ninety three years. If you take, say, fifty H-bombs in the hundred megaton range and jacket them with cobalt thorium G, when they are exploded they will produce a doomsday shroud. A lethal cloud of radioactivity which will encircle the earth for ninety three years!
