A Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD), often referred to as a "dirty bomb," combines conventional explosives with radioactive materials. Its primary purpose is to spread radioactive contamination over a wide area, causing panic and disruption rather than mass destruction. RDDs are designed to contaminate the environment and can pose health risks depending on the type and amount of radioactive material used. While RDDs are not as destructive as nuclear weapons, they can create significant psychological and economic impacts. The fear of radiation exposure can lead to evacuation and long-term cleanup efforts, affecting communities and local economies. Authorities focus on prevention and response strategies to mitigate the risks associated with RDDs.
