NASA has proposed no such solution. This story has gone viral, even though it's essentially fiction. This is all based on one article published by the BBC. An interview with Brian Wilcox, an advisor on NASA's Near-Earth Object Planetary Defense council. Which has nothing to do with volcano's.
The BBC story link is below. I've been unable to locate any reference to this project on NASA sites. All news stories that cite a source end up coming back to this one story. Apparently fact-checking is passe.
