Weapons of mass destruction are designed to kill large numbers of people indiscriminately. They are usually categorized as nuclear, biological, or chemical. High-tech solutions are being developed to counter the devastating effects of these deadly weapons. "Dirty bombs" combine conventional explosives with radioactive materials. Using the latest computer technology at the National Atmospheric Release Advisory Center, a mock "dirty bomb" attack scenario has been developed to help governments and first responders in cities all over the world prepare for possible terrorist attacks.
