I wonder if this would work for real? Not in terms of tiny explosions, but radiation poisoning.

A Test on ISIS would work well.

Radioactive BBs could cause significant radiation poisoning.

Yes. I use radioactive radiation sources about that size in my radiography process (behind lead screens, of course)that could be used for weaponizing.

Radiation poisoning for sure.
As far as mini nukes are concerned, you need enough mass to reach critical mass to cause the atomic chain reaction.
Frankly I’m not sure what they’re trying to say here. Producing small radioactive pellets isn’t exactly a technological breakthrough.

Supposedly the KGB used to use Plutonium pellets (shot out of umbrella guns and other such curiosities) to assassinate defectors.

Radiation and poisoning by heavy metals, yes. A critical mass is necessary for a nuclear reaction; and, a BB sized mass it way short of that.
