Dirty bombs don’t seem like a thing you would even want to mess with. The types of materials you would need are heavy and very dangerous to handle and transport in the concentrations needed to add them to a bomb. The resulting package would be tremendous heavy and probably have to be transported by truck. The whole operation could kill anyone involved in building and transporting it.
On top of that, it wouldn’t be very effective. Most of the radioactive material would be heavy and fall out of the air quickly. Anyone covered in the dust however could shower and probably be totally fine. One the dust is dispersed it’s unlikely to be radioactive enough to form an exclusion zone.
On top of all of that, the whole world now thinks you’re a godless monster, and you might wind up in The Hague. It’s a loser of an idea.
