Dirty bomb
In this important film, Nova goes beyond the alarming headlines to answer critical questions: How easy is it to make a dirty bomb, and how does it differ from a conventional nuclear bomb? What would happen if terrorists were to explode a dirty bomb in the middle of London or Washington, DC? How dangerous is the fallout from a dirty bomb? What are the long-term effects and how well do we really understand them? And how can lives be saved if one explodes?

- "A dirty bomb is a radiological weapon but unlike a nuclear bomb, its purpose is to contaminate rather than destroy. It uses normal explosives to disperse radioactive materials in the local environment, creating a hazard to health that could last for years unless cleaned up. Horizon publishes the results of specially commissioned research, modelling two possible dirty bomb scenarios: attacks on either London or Washington DC. The main conclusion is that the health risks from a dirty bomb explosion are localised to people who are close to the incident or are in contact with the contamination. Although the modelled attack scenarios could have wide-ranging economic repercussions, the majority of the population of either capital city would have only a negligible increase in their risk of developing cancer."
- "Identifies and examines some of the topical questions regarding and surrounding so-called "dirty bombs", from the first recognized instance of a dirty bomb being encountered by civilians, to perceived and potential manufacture of such a device, and the differences from an actual nuclear weapon. Also offers scenarios depicting what might happen if terrorists were to create and explode an effective dirty bomb in the middle of London or Washington, DC, and how dangerous the fallout from a dirty bomb might be, both in the short and longer-term."@en
