Radiation Belt Remediation (RBR)

Radiation Belt Remediation is an experimental technique for countering the effects of a nuclear blast in space (or High Altitude Nuclear Detonation). A related U.S. Air Force experiment slated for launch in 2009 aboard the Deployable Spaces Experiment (DSX) package is reported to feature a transmitter that uses radio waves to push charged particles out of the radiation belts. This could help pave the way for systems that would push nuclear blast radiation away from satellites and into the atmosphere, where it could be safely absorbed.
