• By using a different type of hydrogen

What is the significance of Cobalt 60 in salted nuclear weapons?

• It has a short half-life

• It reduces the bomb's weight

• It is used to stabilize the bomb

• It can make areas uninhabitable for decades

Why are salted nuclear weapons considered more dangerous than regular nukes?

• They are cheaper to produce

• They are less detectable

• They spread radiation over a wider area

• They are easier to build
