I was watching this thread earlier when it first showed up.- left after the server got clogged and came back. Itried to catch up and unfortunately you were the first that caught my eye.
I meant no offense, I just get on about the fear of an atomic explosion that some have.

I understand. There are far too many folks who don't know the difference. A dirty bomb will not cause a nuclear detonation (no mushroom cloud), just spread radioactive material. Probably won't result in a high body count but will cost billions to clean up.

Biggest threat from a dirty bomb is the panic that it would cause.

Didn't mean to be snippy. My apologies.
