So what exactly is a dirty bomb? How powerful is it? What makes Russia and Ukraine so afraid of the use of "dirty bombs"?
" dirty bomb " How is made?
According to the British media " Guardian " report on the 25th, "dirty bombs" have long been regarded as weapons of terrorists because their main purpose is to spread panic and chaos by throwing radioactive particles and smoke into the atmosphere.
reported that the "dirty bomb" is also called a radioactive proliferation device, which is a relatively primitive and inaccurate weapon. In terms of production methods, the "dirty bomb" usually fixes conventional explosives next to radioactive material , and then spreads the radioactive material outward through the power of the explosion. Although the concentration of radioactive substances scattered after the explosion is high, they are generally not fatal.
In comparison, "dirty bombs" are easier to manufacture, less expensive, and much less dangerous than nuclear devices. "The 'Dirty Bomb' is a simple device and is easy to manufacture."

" dirty Bomb " What is the power of the explosion of ?
It is reported that the number of casualties and the degree of harm caused by "dirty bombs" depends on many factors. Among them, the most critical factor is the number and type of conventional explosives used in the production of "dirty bombs", which determines the power of the explosion. In addition, influencing factors include: the quantity and type of radioactive substances, weather conditions during the explosion, etc. Generally speaking, the stronger the wind, the greater the impact the "dirty bomb" can cause.
However, the report also stated that the radiation released by the "dirty bomb" is generally not enough to cause serious injuries and death, and low-level radiation exposure usually does not cause any symptoms. Some people may not even know if they have ever been exposed to radiation, because these radiations are usually invisible and intangible.

report pointed out that the main harm of "dirty bombs" is that they can create a wide range of deterrence psychologically in the enemy, which is why such weapons are often called "weapons of mass destruction." Experts said: "'Dirty bombs' are generally not used on battlefields, but are deployed in urban areas. Because they are more like a psychological weapon. This weapon is generally used to intimidate the enemy."
Experts said: Radioactive particles produced by the explosion of "dirty bombs" may spread to multiple blocks. However, as radioactive substances spread in the atmosphere, their concentration will gradually decrease, and accordingly, their harm will decrease. However, specific radiation intensity needs to be detected using special equipment. Contaminated houses and office buildings may need to be banned for several months and require expensive cleaning.
