Re: You idiots!
A dirty bomb -- assuming you're using the usual meaning of radioactive material spread by a conventional explosive -- would not do this. This isotope is created as a fission product, and has a half life of 8 days. Unless you yanked the fuel out of a reactor, slapped it into a bomb when it was still very "hot", and set it off within a fortnight or so, you wouldn't get a release like this.
