Dirty Bombs...
are a collection of one
type or the combination of several types of
radioisotopes. A simple dirty bomb device can
be made even without utilisation of a detonator.
The biggest problem produced by a dirty bomb
is contamination which can last from few hours
to many thousands of years.
In many cases, the dirty
bomb carriers or makers will also lose their
lives trying to achieve this
and the number of radionuclides available are
many. Since September 11, customs authorities
across the world have introduced checkpoint
inspections for travelers possibly carrying
radiological materials. |
