I removed the redirect on this page that lead to Cobalt bomb, but that page contained no information on what was specifically a salted bomb in reference of nuclear weapons. Also since Cobalt bombs are not the only type of salted bomb, it can't the only place where readers are directed to.--Crab182 (talk) 20:39, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is a weasel-word tag on the bit about "It has been suggested that the use of salted nuclear weapons could end all life on Earth" - well, the Cobalt Bomb article attributes this multiple times to Leó Szilárd (who proposed the idea of the Cobalt Bomb apparently). I don't know how this can be appropriately attributed though, but the little "by whom?" link looks silly in this light. draeath (talk) 20:43, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
