What would a plutonium "dirty bomb" do? Not much. Plutonium gives off harmless alpha radiation. its perfectly safe to handle - and in spite of its reputation is not very toxic, although its safer to eat than to breath in. Of all of the radioactive materials one could use for a "dirty bomb" plutonium would be the least harmful. If you simply want to scatter a bunch of radioactive material around, you don't have to go to the trouble of trying to build a nuclear weapon - a pipe-bomb attached to a piece of radioactive material would do. And why bother spending a large percentage of your national budget on missile systems when you plan to use shipping containers as a delivery system. Ha ha. Obviously North Korea hasn't thought this through very well. .
