"Apart from the fact that this might not even alter the storm, this approach neglects the problem that the released radioactive fallout would fairly quickly move with the tradewinds to affect land areas and cause devastating environmental problems,"NOAA's hurricane page states. Sanvu could whip up a spray containing fallout from the blast, and So during the summer of 2016, it seemed it was down to about one release every two months but then it increased. "A clean device would minimize lingering activity placed in the atmosphere," he wrote in his 1959 presentation.
