Calling bullshit on this because making a dirty bomb isn't hard. You take a regular bomb and put radioactive materials in it.
Where would you get radioactive materials... any dentist office... I think the DS can managed that.
A dirty bomb is always a threat.
A low yield nuclear device is harder to come by - but wouldn't take out the effing coast.
Original Poster here. Yeah, Scuffy. I think you are right. Wherever Parkes info came from, I think this is either erroneous speculation or disinformation. I regret posting without further corroboration.
Do you really think that you can make a nuclear dirty bomb from materials at a dentist's office? Really?
Back in the Navy, I was told that the Goi Incident was from an abandoned X-ray machine from a dental facility. Apparently this is not so, however I think that my over all point that 'it isn't hard to get radioactive materials' stands.
Give me you address, I'll buy you some.
The radioactive point source for the dental x ray machine. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goi%C3%A2nia_accident)
Yes. Cesium - it kills people. There are 2 kids that I know of that have been able to source enough radioactive materials to at least attempt to make their own reactors.
Here is the link to one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hahn
So if a kid can get ahold of radioactive material, I think that the DS would be able to as well.
Or just buy it from Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Images-SI-Uranium-Ore/dp/B000796XXM
SO - yeah, B.S. on the dirty bomb, which means Simon has B.S. sources, or is just B.S. himself. I vote for the latter.
