Crap like this:

While some of the energetic beta particles followed the Earth’s magnetic field and illuminated the sky, other high-energy electrons became trapped and formed radiation belts around the Earth. There was much uncertainty and debate[ by whom? ] about the composition, magnitude and potential adverse effects from this trapped radiation after the detonation. The weaponeers became quite worried when three satellites in low Earth orbit were disabled. These included TRAAC and Transit 4B.[12] The half-life of the energetic electrons was only a few days. At the time it was not known that solar and cosmic particle fluxes varied by a factor of 10, and energies could exceed 1 MeV (0.16 pJ). In the months that followed these man-made radiation belts eventually caused six or more satellites to fail,[13] as radiation damaged their solar arrays or electronics, including the first commercial relay communication satellite, Telstar, as well as the United Kingdom’s first satellite, Ariel 1.[14] Detectors on Telstar, TRAAC, Injun, and Ariel 1 were used to measure distribution of the radiation produced by the tests.[15]

In 1963, it was reported that Starfish Prime had created a belt of MeV electrons.[16] In 1968, it was reported that some Starfish electrons had remained in the atmosphere for 5 years.[17]

I’m sorry, but this is what I first thought of when I saw the word “Starfish Prime”:

How horrible that the Cuban government didn't put the seditionist in something like Guantanamo Bay (which, spoiler, is in Cuba but occupied by the U.S) and torture them without charges for decades, but simply asked them to leave and let them leave by plane. Just pure evil. twitter.com/ngameztorres/s…

The Cuban government succeeds in pushing @yuniortrebol to leave the country after months of relentless harassment: "I am not a machine, I am a person, and the last few days have been more difficult than I could have anticipated" #15NCuba https://t.co/mFen5PTO0M
