Abstract

In the current state of the world, threats in the form of radioactively laced explosives are a very real and very frightening possibility. These radiological dispersal devices (RDD), or 'dirty bombs', consist of radioactive material combined with conventional explosive.^[2] Detonating a dirty bomb creates an expanding radioactive cloud capable of blanketing large areas, such as multiple city blocks, primarily to cause panic and terror in the target population. Unfortunately, rogue nations and terrorist groups are able to get the required components, as there are many unsecured or unaccounted for sources of radioactive material around the world. Therefore, it becomes necessary to anticipate the effects of such an explosion, both for planning and reactive purposes.
