The video is full of speculative statements.
If everything that is shown and said in the "investivative report" is true, then many big cities across the world would be in ruins already.
Here is an interesting thread about all the nonsense on the video.

Dear Wiickedfire,
Dirty bombs aren't "nukes". You can transport them in a case of lead (hint - you'll need a LOT of lead).
you can make them pretty easily with cobalt-60 (food sterilizers) or americium-241 (smoke detectors). It won't kill a lot more people than a standard bomb, but it would cost billions of dollars in damage after you grind a city down to a halt, cause mass panic/evacuations and specialized cleanup crews. of course this depends on the city you're going to be frustrating. furthermore, you'll need to determine what the wind patterns will be for the next few days and find the most suitable location for the maximum amount of damage possible.
oh did I mention it would be a suicide mission? the amount of cobalt-60 you'd need to create a dirty bomb would give you a lethal dose of radiation within 1-2 minutes (certain death in a week tops). unless of course you can shell out a couple mill for the technology to build containment fields while you work.
1 more thing - if you haven't already guessed, most radioactive isotopes are much heavier than air. they won't be inhaled easily. for example, cobalt-60 is shard like in it's natural form. americium is much too heavy to be dispersed even by strong winds.
HINT: oxidize them (aka burn them) to solve 95% of your problems.
Love,
Pewep
