It depends on the type of material, and how much material there is, and how refined it is.
A dirty bomb can cause a dead zone. For a very very long time.
The immediate fear, panic, chaos, deaths, coupled with shock would cause the world to deteriorate even further.
It would be 9/11 about 100x worse. In a lot of peoples minds: Radiation bomb = nuke = mass death destruction and irradiation = freedoms traded for safety. The ultimate sum will be a onen world government. You soud like Obama: “America can absorb another terrorist attack”.
No. Preemptive offense is the best defense. A nuclear weapon would be worse, and if islam isn’t put into check, it will eventually happen.
This movie is available on DVD, highly recommended viewing ——

Plot Summary
Showing one plot summary
After years of meticulous planning, a terrorist operation is reaching its final stages. The authorities have received no intelligence; they are in a race against time but don’t yet know it. As the operation unfolds, we see the working lives of men and women directly affected by terrorism. Among them: a firemen worried about the increasingly dangerous conditions he and his men are expected to work under; the head of the anti-terrorist branch whose responsibility it is to protect London and a female Muslim detective brought into Scotland Yard to investigate another suspected terrorist cell. But it is too late to stop the attack. Outside Liverpool Street station suicide bombers detonate a large bomb, killing scores of commuters and sending a radioactive plume high into the morning sky. For the police, a desperate struggle to find and stop secondary attacks begins. For the fire service, the difficult and dangerous task of carrying out search and rescue in a heavily contaminated area. And for emergency service controllers, a mammoth operation to contain and decontaminate thousands of terrified people caught up in the aftermath of the explosion. Based on extensive research, DIRTY WAR asks whether as a nation we are prepared to face such an attack.
The subtance they have is Uranium. Big deal. No dead zone there. Like I said,the main impact is induced fear.
A dirty bomb is NOT a nuclear weapon.
Such a bomb going off in London would cause not only physical destruction, but also economic chaos. Stock markets around the world would plunge with all sorts of unexpected results, none of them good.
ISIS is a deadly enemy that needs to be thoroughly destroyed. No amount of military resources is too much to spend on this effort. It’s either them or us, “us” meaning Western civilization.
