A good nuke bunker-buster might actually fuse it shut. However, nuking BP corporate would be a whole lot better long-term solution of preventing future blowouts. A serious bunker-busting bomb load of Browns Gas could also be utilized to cause an implosion that could shut things down. At any rate, that 5 MT application would at least get their dysfunctional blow-off valve stack out of the way, so that a million tonne ball of solid iron could then be sued as a stopper. Perhaps all of our existing spent nuclear fuel could be made into a very high density kind of plug, so that once their defective wellhead stack is nuked out of the way, the spent uranium plug of perhaps 100,000 tonnes would be deployed, as to seal off that hasty hole. There might still be some leakage, but at least not more than a few barrels per day, that a larger funnel could then safely manage. ~ BG

This would be analogous to "pinching off an IV tube". One could use shaped nuclear warheads, but it would seem like overkill considering the capabilities of some of the newer energetic materials available. Using nuclear weapons in such a way would present the administration with enormous political consequences, especially if it were to fail or make matters worse.

It still sounds crazy. What are they going to do, blow it up in the middle of the Gulf Stream? This thing will get to Scandinavia and Europe probably. This oil spill sounds like the worst sticky black blot in the dark history of the human race... "The Oil spill is of such catastrophic proportions, very few people are mentioning the likelihood of the oil being carried by the Gulf stream to Europe. If enough oil spills it can kill much if not all of the worlds oceans." http://morris108.wordpress.com/2010/05/07/the-gulf-oil-spill-will-reach-europe/ ------------------------------------------------------- THE WISE TIBETAN MONKEY SAYS "Ride a bike today and everyday.

You could be right, about causing a lithosphere implosion with shaped charges, pinching off that steel and cement reinforced hole so that little if any oily sulfur and the other ten fold more volumes of raw natural gas stops leaking out. Perhaps targeting with a surround of 10 each 1 MT bunker-busting bombs or rather torpedoes might either do the trick or fracture everything wide open. However, as plan-B using our spent reactor fuel as made into a very large stopper, might not be such a bad idea. It could be coated on the bottom with a meter thick layer of something heavy and sticky, or simply having that special blowout prevention mud/cement pumped into pores that'll seal off the underside until that pocket of oily sulfur and gas is depleted by the second well, whereas then this same humongous stopper could be re-utilized for the next BP blowout that apparently can't be prevented. ~ BG |
