Dirty Bomb Threat
Some radioactive material that had been missing for a decade was found at the Chernobyl Power Plant. It had been assumed that it was stolen in 1995, but it turned out to be just sitting in a plastic bag on the site. This story says:
Ukrainian authorities, Western governments and international watchdogsBut don't worry, kids. Nuclear energy is clean and safe. If President Bush says so it must be true.
repeatedly have warned that radioactive material from Ukraine's 15 operational
reactors and Chernobyl could find its way into the hands of terrorists and be
used to craft a so-called dirty bomb. Such a bomb is a common explosive combined
with radioactive material that can contaminate large areas if detonated.

Again, radioactive materials are either highly radioactive or long-lived. Highly radioactive materials can be managed by isolating them (in this case, isolating the area where the bomb was detonated). Long-lived radioactive materials aren't dangerous unless there's a massive amount that somehow is ingested and accumulates in quantities that magically cause cancer before the fact that you ATE METAL becomes a factor.
George Bush is a moron. The data cannot be ignored.
