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.
