* Hospitals use small quantities of radioactive material, such as cesium-137, in nuclear medicine.
* Universities use similar materials to conduct scientific research.
* Food irradiation plants use radiation from cobalt-60 to kill harmful bacteria on food. (See CDC: Frequently Asked Questions about Food Irradiation for more information.)
* Natural radioactive uranium isotopes are mined for use in nuclear energy. Terrorists could conceivably acquire uranium from various mines in Africa.
* There are a number of abandoned "nuclear batteries" scattered around the former Soviet Union. These portable thermoelectric generators contain a sizable amount of strontium-90, a highly potent radioactive isotope. (Check out Makings of a 'Dirty Bomb' for more information.)
* People could also collect spent radioactive fuel from Russian reactors, which have been abandoned in old nuclear submarines, among other places.
* They could also put something together using various low-level radioactive materials available to anybody, such as the radioactive material in smoke alarms. Tale of the Radioactive Boy Scout is good evidence that this is a very real possibility.

Reading that gave me a few ideas for mods and storys. Some parts could be used for a RA2 or Gen, as thay use radioactive ideas and terrorists/GLA.

Good ideas. You could use the toxin overlays to create a different radiation overlay, that kills infantry and tanks for quite some time.

Well, when it comes to writing an expository essay about counter-insurgent tactics, I'm of the old school. First you tell them how you're going to kill them. Then you kill them. Then you tell them how you just killed them.
