Seconds out round one
Discussion
Nothing here, so maybe I was dreaming last night and did not hear this on radio.
Russia is to provide Iran with equiptment for its enritchment program?
Bush will protect Isreal from danger.
Is it just me or are they squaring up to eachother.
Putin IMO seems as if he would provoke Bush, but how far?
I am sure the PH collective must know something about this, or did I imagine it?

I'm afraid that, with news like this, spelling is the least of your worries...
We're ok cos Greater Manchester is 'nuclear free' and we're not far from it!
It won't be after someone's set off a suitcase bomb just outside Piccadilly!!!
The one thing that the techno-philiac West still can't defend against...low-tech infiltration!

Scary, but someone needs to stand up to Bush or his fight for 'freedom' will consume the world...
I wouldn't worry yourelf too much, it won't make any difference, we are living in the most interesting times there has ever been..., and it is about to get a lot more interesting. it's coming folks, and there ain't anything we can do about it. The script was written a long time ago...
...do you prefer to use credit cards or cash whilst making your way in this world?

Suitcase bombs are a bit of a myth tbh. They're practically useless.
Unless its a 20 foot long suitcase full of TNT.

Appaerntly Slough is a nuclear free town!
It says so on the signs telling you that you have arrived there!
Situated mid way between AWE Aldermaston and London, I somehow think there has been a little artistic licence by the Local Authority and their description!!!

A 'dirty bomb' with a couple of hundred grams of spent uraniun in it set off in Piccadilly Gardens would empty the area for years - you want to risk lung cancer?
We did this before. Where do you get granulated Uranium?
Most radioactive metals are very heavy, you couldn't scatter their dust over a very wide area from a ground-level explosion.
Even if you did, you could find it. It would take time, but you could find it.
You couldn't, say, drill a hole in a lump of Uranium and put TNT in it and expect it to spread over a wide area anyway: it would tear apart rather than shatter. Imagine melted blobs of solder.
Dirt bombs are beloved of the tabloid cackheads and their sheep readers, not terrorists.
I know this, incidentally, because (a) I get to 'places', and (b) I'm responsible (as in, lock me up if I get it wrong) for large stocks of radioactive, although depleted, Uranium; I get ransacked by the Environment Agency, MI5, the HSE and sundry other bodies.
I've been to more discussions and had more meetings than enough.
Trust me, dirty bombs?

parrot of doom said:"Suitcase" is a euphemism...the Soviet armed/special/security forces certainly squeezed workable nukes into portable cases...the problem was that any geiger counter in the area could detect them due to the lack of shielding, so transporting them was the big problem.

As for whether they either still exist or worse are already in the western world...ask the conspiracy theorists, I haven't a clue!

I can get hold of uranium powder...
sort of...
the point of that post is that it doesn't to do any real destruction/killing to get the effect people are after. A "dirty bomb" would cause panic, chaos and cost a lot to clean up, the damage it would cause comes far more from effects like that than from nuclear contamination etc..
I think you could grind/make uranium metal finely enough to disperse it pretty far to be honest... I deal with fine powers on a daily basis.
