What is a Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD)?

A Radiological Dispersal Device, often referred to as a "dirty bomb," is a device that combines conventional explosives with radioactive material. The primary goal of an RDD is not to cause mass destruction but to spread radioactive contamination over a wide area, thereby causing panic, disruption, and economic losses. The radioactive material used can come from various sources, including medical equipment, research facilities, or nuclear reactors.
