I saw a thing on dirty bombs the other day. Apparently they don't work. The Pentagon has tested them (so did the Iraqis) and the radioactive material gets spread so thin that it's harmless.
Only if you stood stock still in the blast area for a year would you take on enough radiation for it to damage you.
