” What they called a “dirty” bomb.”

A dirty bomb is a non-nuclear explosive wrapped with dirty fission fragments obtained from a nuclear reactor.

No, go back and read up on the difference between the clean and dirty versions of some of the classic bombs like the Mk-41. Even the Soviet Csar bomb could be said to have two versions, though the bomb carrying plane would likely not have survived the dirty version.

Know what you mean, but this is only the difference between the additional yield provided by fission of the secondary tamper, not a deliberate scattering of material.

I ain't a know it all, but am a serious student.
