Most likely it would just shatter it into smaller asteroids, which might do more total damage than the original asteroid.

Do nuclear isotopes stop decaying when control rods are down?
No, it is not correct; only a nuclear chain reaction can be stopped with control rods.
Can a nuclear reaction stop by itself?
When the n/p ratio becomes equal to one, nuclei will get stability.As a result reaction will stop.
How the devastating of earthquake could be limited?
Stop the nuclear testing and launching of rockets into space.
What is the difference between nuclear power plant and nuclear reactor?
It's really just a matter of degree, all reactors produce some power. Those used in a power plant will produce perhaps 3000 to 5000 Megawatts thermal. Low power reactors producing a few kilowatts are used for experiments, teaching in universities, and for producing radioisotopes by irradiating samples, but reactors in this sort of power level would not be harnessed to produce electricity, the heat produced if large enough would be removed and rejected to the atmosphere or to a water cooling circuit. This makes them simple to operate and to start and stop as required.
How can you stop the flow of electricity?
you cant really stop it but you can divert it to a ground and it always takes the path of least resistance. that would appear to stop the electricity from going any further because of the shortcircutstopping electricity would most likely involve destroying(Nuclear Reaction) or freezing (0 kelvins is impossible) the electrons in place--SuDuMa--
Why would most things just die and stop working if a nuclear bomb was dropped?
Most things would not.
What can prevent nuclear explosions?
The only way to stop a nuclear explosion is the disarming of the bomb either by cutting the bomb's power supply, the removal of the plutomium/uranium core or by disarming the explosive trigger.
Would dropping a bomb in a hurricane stop it?
There is no data about it.
What would happen if asteroid hits a tornado?
Im pretty sure that a tornado isnt strong enough to stop and ansteriod..... So the asteroid would just go through the tornado
How can you stop an asteroid from hitting earth?
Small asteroids can be deflected by explosives (ordinary or nuclear) if they are far enough away. The problem is getting the explosives there. Asteroids travel at orbital speeds of thousands of kilometers an hour, and a large rocket would be required to reach the asteroid and match its speed, so that it could rendezvous and detonate. Hitting an asteroid with a head-on shot would be extremely difficult if not impossible, and could result in a shower of smaller pieces hitting the Earth.
Why do we not explode a ground level detonation low yield nuclear bomb on the nuclear plants in Japan to stop the continued problems or encasing the plants?
You are just crazy!! This would scatter radioactive contamination over a huge area and contribute absolutely nothing to cleaning up and containing the present problem.
How do you stop bomb blasts?
Once the bomb has gone off, no one can stop it.
What would make your 1995 blazer just stop running?
a car bomb
Is asteroid belt colder or hotter?
Asteroid belt is hotter because when it comes down fast it cannot stop til it lands somewhere to stop it.......... this is stupid
If an asteroid impact were to stop the Earth from rotating how big would that asteroid need to be?
size doesn't matter its the angle and speed of the asteroid that it is at, plus if that did happen the earth would either drift off into space and eventually get back into a orbit because of the suns gravity or explodes and everything would just flip, roll over, fall how ever you wanna put it. plus its nearly impossible for a asteroid to do that it would probably do what i said in the second sentence.
What would happen if the suns nuclear reactions stopped?
we would stop getting the warmth a light
Why would the atomic bomb stop the USSR to spread communism?
I dont understand the question. why would America having the atomic bomb stop the USSR from spreading communism? Because if so it didn't. It spread to Cuba,Yugoslavia, North Korea, Plus parts of South Africa. While the US had the Atomic bomb.
