In the chapel at the end, Kelly pries open one of the panels of the explosive shell, exposing the plutonium core. She and Devoe then jump through a window as the primary explosives detonate, but the plutonium is not compressed, and thus the bomb does not go nuclear. Contrary to what may be thought, neither Devoe and Kelly nor anyone within about 100 feet would have been lethally irradiated from the (brief) exposure to the plutonium core, nor would the surrounding area be uninhabitable for about 240,000 years. The general misconception is that exposure to plutonium is always lethal; in its stable form, plutonium only emits alpha radiation. This type of radiation cannot penetrate a healthy skin, let alone thick chapel walls, and is only dangerous when inhaled or ingested. Only when plutonium undergoes a planned nuclear fission reaction will it become unstable and release massive amounts of lethal radiation, but Kelly and Devoe successfully prevent that from happening. At worst, a small area is contaminated with stable plutonium particles, which, again, are harmless outside of the body. The Nuclear Emergency Support Team will have little problem cleaning up or creating a protective barrier, and Kelly and Devoe are fine as long as they take a thoroughly decontaminating shower.
