RADIOLOGICAL THREAT It may be caused by a type of bomb known as a "dirty bomb". This bomb is a variation of a small nuclear weapon that contains an explosive material. It is capable of exploding and scattering radioactive substances over the targeted area. If this happens, think of shielding, distance and time.   Shielding - If you seek protection behind a thick material, remember that the thicker the material, the more     capable it is of absorbing the radioactive material.   Distance - The further away you are from the affected area, the less the effect of the radiation.   Time - The less time you are exposed to the substance, the less the risk.
