It may be worse than "dirty bomb material".

Yeah but the plutonium can get out sooner and easier.

Plutonium is tricky stuff. Very likely to sputter dirty rather than nuclear chain reaction. In 1945 we tested our plutonium device at Trinity site before dropping one on Nagasaki. Postwar we had one go dirty on us at Bikini and ground zero there had to be paved over and fenced off.
