That’s probably true for building an actual nuke, but dirty bombs are very easy to make, and if you’re not worried about eventually dying from radiation poisoning, the handling techniques don’t even need to be very fancy.

The main risk for dirty bombs as I see it is raw uranium, unused fuel, and radioisotopes prepared for medical uses. ie. stuff that is safe to handle as long as it isn’t ingested or inhaled, and is transported all over the place without much security.

Guys, could we stop short of giving directions on how to make a dirty bomb on this forum? That would be nice.
