LLNL Simulations Explore Nuclear Mitigation of Asteroid Threats

<p>Oct. 14, 2026 &#8212; Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers are developing three-dimensional simulations to examine how a nuclear device could be used to deflect or potentially disrupt an asteroid threatening Earth. The work, published recently in The Planetary Science Journal, uses LLNL’s Spheral simulation code to more accurately model how an asteroid might respond when [&#8230;]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.hpcwire.com/off-the-wire/llnl-simulations-explore-nuclear-mitigation-of-asteroid-threats/">LLNL Simulations Explore Nuclear Mitigation of Asteroid Threats</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.hpcwire.com">HPCwire</a>.</p>
