A "dirty bomb," technically known as a radiological dispersal device (RDD), is a type of explosive weapon that combines conventional explosives, such as dynamite, with radioactive materials. The primary purpose of a dirty bomb is not to cause mass destruction like a nuclear weapon, but rather to spread radioactive contamination over a large area. When detonated, the explosive material disperses the radioactive particles into the environment, potentially exposing people and property to harmful radiation.
