Dear Bernard:

One such study, in the case of Cs-Cl powder (i.e., Cs-137 chloride powder), was published in Scientific American, November 2002, page 76

See the following link which also describes this:

Does anyone know of studies to estimate how widely the radioactivity
would be spread if a dirty bomb were detonated in a large city?
