Discussion: The Likelyhood of Dirty Bombs

[oldschoolgm]

I was thinking and I'd love to see some input on this matter, what is the likelyhood of dirty bombs being made?

Thinking on this, I don't think that any of the countries used all their nuclear ordinance, so there is at least one likely source of weapons grade material. And how many nuclear reactors would have survived through the last 5 years? As that would be a second source for the material. In either event, the gathering of the material and making the bomb do seem plausible to me for the year 2k though very difficult.

Also what lvl of NWH skill do you think the players would need to accomplish this, as well as what other skills would be needed?

Another factor to consider here too is what level of security would exist around surviving materials. Does the Air Force still have security forces around their silos? Have the surviving nuclear reactors been abandoned, and if not who's in control?

Anyways, I'd love to hear what you guys think.
