Devon and Cornwall will be inundated with refugees? Ifs, maybes, and conjecture

[NorthernRaider]

A couple of quotes from the Fact Sheet, Dirty Bombs are far more of a 'disrupting' measure than one which will harm and mame:

(NR) exactly as I said it is the economic cost that has to be considered up to £30,000 per hundred yards to decontaminate the area, fear prevents the lands use thus needing it to be cleaned or closed off for hundreds of years.

It is extremely unlikely that anyone who survives the explosion will become sick from radiation. In addition, your ability to have children will not be affected.

(NR) Yes again as I pointed out the explosive is only to distribute the material as far as possible helped with the wind where possible

The radioactive particles that are scattered as a result of the explosion cause the "dirty" part. The explosives in such a bomb would still be more dangerous than the radioactive material.

(NR) Unless as both I and your link point out you INHALE the particles, The bomb will only hurt you if it goes off on the ground next to you, as I pointed out from the start most theory for such devices say the bomb will be used at elevation and on a windy day to maximise the threat.

The effects of an RDD can vary depending on what type of radioactive material is used and how much material is scattered. It is very difficult to design an RDD that would deliver radiation doses high enough to cause immediate health effects or fatalities in a large number of people. For the most part, an RDD would most likely be used to:

(NR) Again as I pointed out most clearly it can be only a few grams of alpha emitting particles and it can cause as much disruption as something bigger and more radioactive.

•contaminate facilities or places where people live and work, disrupting lives and livelihoods,
•cause anxiety in those who think they are being, or have been, exposed to radiation.

(NR) which is again what I said its a terror weapon that uses fear to cause an area to be evacuated or expensively decontaminated .

I see nothing in your post or in the article that even remotely suggests I have disseminated scaremongering disinformation.

What I have read today is your assumptions mainly wrong about Nukes wiping out all life, terrs only planting one bomb etc

Don't bother to apologise.
