"Common sense" about a dirty bomb, here in America taking its science
from public broadcasting by journalists?

Radiation safety and health professionals might do some arithmetic
involving an area, some energy levels, some concentrations, use those to
pick some nuclides and calculate their masses and mass specific activity
and know - as professionals - just what will be required to build a
credible device.

If it's too hot to handle (as in clean up) then it's too hot to handle
to build.  I am not a professional but I have made a formally
falsifiable assertion and it should be formally falsified and not merely
controverted argumentum ad verecundiam.
