I am not up to date on whats going on, but nukes to put out fires doesn't sound right.. you can use explosives to put out fires, and I heard the USSR used a nuke as crude method to put out an oil well, however, a melting nuclear reactors is nothing a like and nuking a reaction will only further breach containment and spread radioactive material... This is how it's going to work. The reactors are burning and pumping radiation into the atmosphere bcause their fuel is hot and is contained in one location. A blast would disperse the fuel and put the fire out, this would radiate the area around the reactor. Since most of the burning reactors are in europa and asia, it would not be a big problem for north america.
