    • Goofs
      A major plot point of this episode has to do with a so-called cobalt-60 "dirty bomb." Castle and Beckett are supposedly exposed to high levels of cobalt-60 radiation. Aside from the fact that no cobalt bombs have ever been built, the cobalt "tamper," as the shell of material surrounding the nuclear core of the weapon is called, is not radioactive before the explosion. The explosion transmutes the ordinary, inert cobalt-59 into its highly radioactive isotope, cobalt-60. Thus, no one could possibly be exposed to cobalt-60 radiation before the bomb goes off, unless the cobalt had been bombarded beforehand by a particle accelerator, a pointless exercise, as cobalt-60 rapidly loses radioactive effectiveness after transmutation, with a half-life of less than 5-and-a-half years.
