Why do terrorists use a dirty bomb?
Terrorists may use a dirty bomb to spread fear, panic, and chaos among the population more than to cause casualties.

Additionally, dirty bombs are relatively easier to construct than traditional nuclear weapons, making them an appealing choice for non-state actors.
Is hydrogen bomb dirty?
We'll consider "dirty" to mean producing radioactive fallout. Since hydrogen bombs (fusion bomb) require the energy from an atomic bomb (fission bomb) they are a little dirty. Its mostly the atomic bomb that creates dangerous isotopes that contaminate the blast area, and regions down-wind. Now an H-bomb is generally "cleaner" than a bomb purposefully-design to create a large amount of dangerous, radioactive fallout. There are various techniques where one can change the type and duration of fallout. These types of weapons are generally use fission (not fusion) to create this effect.
What type of bomb are referred as dirty bomb?
There are two types of bombs that are referred to as "dirty" bombs:A dirty conventional bomb or more precisely a radiological bomb. This is simply a conventional chemical explosive bomb wrapped in highly radioactive isotopes. It will likely kill everyone involved in assembling and delivering it before it can hurt anyone at its target.A dirty hydrogen bomb or more precisely an enhanced fallout nuclear bomb. This is a hydrogen bomb with its depleted uranium tamper replaced by or "salted" with other elements that absorb neutrons strongly and transmute into highly radioactive isotopes, producing much more fallout that is more deadly. Cobalt is commonly referred to in the popular literature but would not actually work well as its capture cross section for high energy fusion neutrons is rather small. Gold would be ideal from a military standpoint as its capture cross section for high energy fusion neutrons is large and the halflife of the radioisotopes produced is short enough to allow occupation of the affected territory within a few months (however gold is too expensive for this use).
