A “dirty bomb” or RDD, is a Radiological Dispersal Device, which does not split the atom it just takes radioactive material and blows it up with explosives so the particles go all over the place. A nuclear weapon splits the atom, not the same thing.

I love that I took Weapons Of Mass Destruction as a course in college so now I get to yell at people who say “Iran has talked about a dirty bomb before, clearly they’re on the verge of nukes” for not knowing the difference between a nuke and an RDD.
