Rain will wash away and wind will blow away most of the radioactive dust over time.

That time may be measured in tens of thousands of years.

And a dirty bomb is not the only nuclear threat. You already mentioned larger bombs. And there are bigger threats than that.

If Three-Mile Island became a Chernobyl and the winds were normal southwesterlies, much of PA, NJ, NYC and Connecticut would be uninhabitable forever.

We don't hear about the tens of thousands of square miles rendered uninhabitable by Chernobyl because they are located in the sparsely populated Ukraine.

Washington DC is surrounded by large nuclear facilities.
