    Thats the Hollywood version of a dirty bomb, but there are much “better” ways to use radiological sources for a terrorist attack than just launching some uranium dust around, like contaminating water and food supply chains with certain radioisotopes known to bioaccumulate. Certainly an explosion could be part of this, but it would be arguably more effective to contaminate a reservoir or farm quietly so there would be a delay in detection and mitigation efforts.
