Furthermore the hackers claim to have laid "radioactive bombs" throughout the NL.
Oh well.

If I tape a firecracker to a smoke alarm, have I created a radioactive bomb?

Sounds like a very low-grade dirty bomb.

Americium is pretty stuffty as far as fissionable material goes. It's generally safe to handle if you do not ingest absolutely any of it.

Well the point of a dirty bomb is to just spread radioactive material over an area. Its more of an aerial denial and fear weapon. Hense very low-grade dirty bomb, because of the low radiation levels.

You'd probably do more damage by putting a stink bomb in a ventilation system and spraying black licorice odor all over the place.

Its a Nuclear Bomb, but in a different accent or something.

no

it's a bomb that spreads radioactive material around without triggering fission

[ForgetLavender]

The gun was fake, the guy worked alone
I defended some crazy person. Oh well.

Oh

Never knew that, ty for the funfact

[Katla]

They aren't usually called that. "Dirty bomb" would be a much more recognizable term. But different languages use different words for stuff like that, so I'm assuming the issue is that whoever translated it from Dutch did it too literally.

if he was a real hacker that was a part of a hacker group he would've directly taken down the broadcast and done his own thing

This is so true, A real hacker would just transmit his own broadcast on the same frequency.
