UNCONVENTIONAL WEAPONS: DIRTY BOMB ATTACK What It Is A crude method—using conventional explosives like dynamite—of scattering low-level radioactive materials, such as those found in X-ray machines or food irradiation plants What Could Happen Depending on the size of the bomb, the explosion could level a small building and subject hundreds of people to high levels of radiation.
