Nuclear Terrorism is when a person uses nuclear power to kill or hurt people in the same or different country in which they are living in. Nuclear power can kill millions because the radiation will keep rippling all over the globe.
The effects of fallout are finite as the material is decaying, even in an immediate fallout plume one would rarely need to stay in a fallout shelter (if one was available) longer than about 3 months, after that radiation is barely above normal background levels. It doesn't automatically kill millions.
Nuclear Terrorism is primarily the threat of use of nuclear weapons, either overtly or clandestinely, to instill fear in the people of a country or part of a country. In that sense it differs little from other forms of Terrorism (e.g. suicide bombs, mail bombs, subway gas attacks).
