Yes, that’s one of the primary concerns. The nuclear material isn’t likely to actually explode, but the material can easily get spread by an explosion. Essentially turning a bunker buster bomb into a giant dirty bomb.
Comment on After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any?
INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 6 days agoI do wonder though, if they had enough uranium to make a few nukes and it just got all exploded, wouldn’t there still be some fallout/spread over time?

That’s how dirty bombs work - an explosion deliberately blasts radioactive material in as wide an area as it can.
