Why aren't they used at all in warfare or terrorism? Radioactive material is everywhere and very easy to obtain.

Even in instances of conventional rockets that are shot down it would still rain down Radioactive debris and poison the earth below.

Why have we never seen salted explosives used?

>Radioactive material is everywhere and very easy to obtain.
I don't think it's that easy to obtain very radioactive material large quantities.
If you doubt that then point me to a website or something.

>>510777917 (OP)
Because it's forbidden by the Geneva Conventions.

>>510779838
Since when do terrorists care about that?

The physics to produce them are well known by all major nuclear powers and the materials to produce and procure them are so heavily monitored it will make your head spin. Theres radiation sensors everywhere it's impossible to move radioactive material without it being known.

>>510777917 (OP)
we will use them on Israel

>>510777917 (OP)
Pretty sure thats a fast track to make everyone want to kill you.

That's like using a handgrenade while fighting in a closet.

It would also ruin anything you could win or conquer in a war, so it's useless.

Salted bombs are "doomsday" devices that would wipe out humans all over the planet.

Once you use them, no one will defend you, not even the most tranny leftist.

Because it's instant pariah status with no revocation. Assad used poison gas in Syria and became persona non grata everywhere else overnight. When his regime collapsed Moscow gave him shelter but have you heard a peep out of them since? He's probably living in a cushy aprtment in Moscow but is otherwise a prisoner. How much caviar and champagne do you think he needs to take the edge off losing everything?

You don't have to use plutonium. Your smoke detector is radioactive. Mildly radioactive elements might even be worse because they are harder to detect.

This is hypothetical discussion to any glowniggers.

>>510777917 (OP)
we as a species have a long history of not doing shit.

>>510780681
How much radioactive material is in a typical smoke detector?

>>510780788
That doesn't matter. You can just order a bunch of smoke detectors. That's how some crazy kid made a reactor in his garage back in the day.

>>510780681
we're still gonna van you
fucking retard
the problem is the proliferation
of the idea
take a shower and avoid clothing with metal I'd say get some sweatpants/shirt going on for the ride.

>>510780898
Sounds evasive.
How much?

>>510779900
since all terrorists are literally state sponsored and those states don't want to destroy the world. Thats how you know modern history is a lie.

Is this project allowed in salted earth?
Or is it banned because pro-marry-little-girl people are not allowed in opensource?

>>510780681
Yeah when I read OP I thought Cesium, which is widely available in hospitals. The radioactive material isn't the problem, the problem is that once you deploy you (and your cause if you have one) are now permanently illegitimate. It makes no sense unless you either pull off the first 100% perfect false flag operation in history or your entire ethos is nihilism, in which case you probably don't have the superfriends you need to pull off a big terrorist strike.
There are no real lone wolves. Mass shooters are the closest thing because one person can do a lot of damage with guns, but even most mass shooters have a social network that provides moral, logistical or educational support. The most socially isolated mass shooters I can think of are Breivik, tarrant and Stephen Paddock. I kinda doubt Tarrant was truly solo and there are way too many questions hanging over Paddock.
But I digress. Small bombs are easy for 1 or 2 people to make and deploy, but large bombs are hard work, you need a lot of explosive material, which tends to be heavily controlled, technical expertise, and logistical planning to deploy. To be 'successful' it needs to be some kinda large scale thing like the Oklahoma bombing. A small bomb might get 4-9 city blocks cordoned off but most governments can easily handle an incident of that magnitude. Even if teh bomber is smart and gets the message out about their radioactive ambitions to the public, if the explosion is small then government can just say the claims were wildly exaggerated or that so little radiation was found it is barely above background levels blah blah, the same playbook they run any time thre's a safety incident at a nuclear power plant. Thus hte bomb has to be big enough to make the authorities look weak and overwhelmed, and to give credence to the idea that radioactive contamination is widespread and frighten everyone in the surrounding city. In turn that means you need a significant amount of radioactive material.

>>510780681
Not nearly radioactive enough, dumbo. For the way to make a truly useful dirty or salted bomb, good fucking luck.

>>510780934
Only the photoelectic kind have the radiation. It's hidden in the LEDs

>>510781527
While all that is true, a terrorist could get creative with deployment methods, like slipping it into a bunch of cheap but powerful fireworks that then get sold on the street.

I bet you stick the EGG up your BUTT

>>510777917 (OP)
radioactivity is not that dangerous. sorry that you got brainwashed by EU propaganda.

I'm more of a pepper guy desu

>>510781964
Americium 241 is mildly radioactive. But it IS dangerous if inhaled or ingested. Thus if it gets in the environment to an extensive enough degree it will make its way into food, water, and dust.

>>510780654
>Assad used poison gas in Syria

No he didn't

>>510782192
I thought about that, but the thing is hardly anyone owns dosimeters or geiger counters. So even if a terrorist does this and manages to get the message out to the broad public, how is anyone gonna evaluate these claims? They'll call up the local university to get an 'independent' opinion if there is any skepticism about what the police say, and 99.9% of university researchers are gonna play it down and say the risk is too small to matter rather than be tagged as teh mad scientist who caused an unnecessary public panic.
Look how it goes with industrial pollution and cancer clusters where there's good quality data available. A lot of people would have to die in a small window of space and time before the basedjaks and professional explainers were drowned out by public panic.

>>510777917 (OP)
For the same reason the Brazen Bull is no longer used. In warfare you have to be careful the weapons you use.

In the end the Brazen bull was used on the King who used it as capital punishment and the inventor of the device.

>>510780435
if you use them, no one was anyways

If you have a cyclotron in one basement and a synchrotron in another each built from high vacuum pinball machine parts and each producing radioisotopes for six months, and then you suddenly cross the streams, will Gozer the Gozarian escape from containment?

Behind every terrorist group there is a power, ask those powers.

Salting the 'promised land' with a 100MT cobalt bomb would fix almost all the world's problems within a year.

>>510783231
Why even salt the bomb? Just pile on fuel until it no longer matters

that's how stupid and far behind you are
sometimes i watch tv shows to see where all the npc zeitgeist is at, you're a dumb fuck, no different kek
