Programme 13: SECURITY - 3. ČÁST

A dirty bomb leaves radiation everywhere. It's dirty in the sense that it is an underhand, disallowed category of weapon. Rupert Pengelley A dirty bomb is a version of a nuclear weapon. It's normally considered to be an improvised device, in which somebody has taken a mass of a radioactive material and put conventional, what we call high explosive, inside that lump. And then triggers the high explosive to blow the radioactive material over a wide area. And that sits there radiating for years, and the effect of course is that you have to evacuate that area.
