Cobalt has been discussed as a "salting" element to add to nuclear weapons, to produce a cobalt bomb, an extremely "dirty" weapon which would contaminate large areas with 60Co nuclear fallout, rendering them uninhabitable for a decade or more (multiple half-lives of cobalt-60) due to the gamma radiation field. In one design, the tamper of the weapon would be made of 59Co (natural cobalt). When the bomb explodes, neutrons from the nuclear fission would irradiate the cobalt and transmute it to 60Co. No country is known to have done any serious development of this type of weapon.
