What does this license plate mean?

CO TH G      (or CO27 TH90 G)

"Cobalt thorium G has a radioactive halflife of ninety three years. If you take, say, fifty H-bombs in the hundred megaton range and jacket them with cobalt thorium G, when they are exploded they will produce a doomsday shroud. A lethal cloud of radioactivity which will encircle the earth for ninety three years!" - DeSadeski (the Soviet ambassador)

(from Stanley Kubrik's Dr. Strangelove)
