Ted, I understand the 'dirty' part of the bomb effect people for miles around ground zero. I can't imagine a bomb being able to scatter that much radioactive waste across several square miles. For victims right near ground zero, they could receive a hazardous dose of radiation in seconds or minutes, but for people further out, it would probably take hours, which is more than enough time to evacuate the area. Of course, if such a bomb were to be detonated in the air, the radioactive materials can be spread across a wider area. Now that would be tough to clean up, though it probably wouldn't be instantly fatal to anyone. Tenchusatsu
