Dirty Bomb

A dirty bomb, or radiological dispersal device, is a weapon that combines conventional explosives, like dynamite, with radioactive materials. When detonated, it scatters radioactive substances over a wide area, causing contamination and panic rather than a massive explosion. While the immediate blast may not be deadly, the lingering radiation can pose health risks and disrupt daily life. The primary goal of a dirty bomb is to instill fear, create chaos, and complicate emergency responses, making it a psychological weapon rather than a traditional one.
