Forget nuclear -This is dirty bomb material.

Its primarily a alpha emitter which makes for a lousy dirty bomb.

As long as it emits something that can be detected and associated with a nuclear or radiological device it will serve the psychological purpose of keeping people out of the area.

how dense is this stuff? how much would a cubic foot of plutonium weigh? Is it plyable or hard as a rock?
Just kind of wondering how easy it would be to misplace 400+ lbs. of it?
