{wiki=Radiological_weapons}
Radiological weapons, often referred to as "dirty bombs," are devices designed to spread radioactive material, primarily for the purpose of causing harm, panic, or disruption, rather than achieving a traditional explosive effect. Unlike nuclear weapons, which rely on nuclear reactions to release massive energy and create explosions, radiological weapons use conventional explosives to disperse radioactive materials over a targeted area.
