So a Fat Man type bomb, deliverable on a truck or ship and that sets off radiation detectors for long distances.

I don't think the distance would be too long. Esp. if it is encased in dense material like lead or tungsten or even a sufficient amount of water or oil (which could easily be done in a ship).

Of course if it explodes the radiation will be easily detectable but than it is a bit late. Also the radiation would be detectable at the assembly site but if your there while it is being assembled you can probably just see what is happening.
