Now we are talking tens of thousands of people affected by a relatively crude device.

Hardly... It's nothing a good shower wouldn't cure...

The kind of count you're discussing here far exceeds that which were "affected" by Chernobyl (where giant mushrooms grow.. :0)..

To achieve what you're claiming would occur would require at least 100 pounds of fissionable material and a hell of a blast to disperse it.

Remember, no chain reaction occurs, thus the only radioactive dust that is spread is that fissionable material which the high explosive manages to pulverize into such a state, and not leave in larger fragments (which would be quite likely).
