Nuclear weapons destroy miles away and millions of people can be killed in a matter of minutes. Dirty bombs are not that dangerous. Nuclear weapons consist of pure materials of uranium and plutonium. Dirty bombs contain atomic waste. Secondly, it is used with dynamite.
In a report released two years ago by ICAN (International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons), it was said - Dirty bombs can cause significant damage to a fixed or target area. The range of damage in a nuclear attack is very large. If the wind is strong, it can affect hundreds of kilometers away. The radiation from a dirty bomb is not very high and far away.

In 1998, Chechnya security forces defused a dirty bomb planted on the side of a railway line.
