China Simulates Tech That Traps Radioactive Fallout From Dirty Bombs

Can radioactive fallout from a “dirty bomb” be contained before it spreads? Chinese scientists believe it’s possible, and they’re testing an airborne weather modification system designed to trap radioactive clouds within minutes of an explosion.

The research, led by the Joint Logistic Support Force University of Engineering and the Rocket Force Research Institute, aims to simulate how such a system could operate in real-world conditions.

Unlike nuclear weapons, dirty bombs do not trigger a chain reaction. Instead, they pair explosives with radioactive material that spread out over a wide area.
