The chemical separation of cobalt and nickel from steel samples was performed, and cobalt-enriched samples were prepared for all samples. Gamma-ray measurements were carried out with a low-background well-type germanium detector. The gamma-ray spectra for five samples were compared with the spectrum of a control sample to ensure that the observed ^<60>Co was actually induced by A-bomb neutrons. The activation of cobalt by environmental neutrons was also investigated. It has been shown that the present ^<60>Co data are consistent with earlier Hashizume's data., Journal of radiation research. 2002, 43(4), p.387-396}, pages = {387--396}, title = {Measurement of Residual ^<60>Co Activity Induced by Atomic-bomb Neutrons in Nagasaki and Background Contribution by Environmental Neutrons}, volume = {43}, year = {2002} }
