I would not call a dirty bomb a weapon of mass destruction.

Wonderful.

What would you call it?

Would the size of the conventional explosive and the amount of radioactive material and the location of the explosion matter?

Idiot!

I’d call it explosively scattered toxic waste.

If the radiation contamination was bad enough to get a 50% lethality dose in an hour, I’d call it a radiological weapon.

Getting a square block of city contaminated by the contents of an X-ray machine does not a WMD make.
