Well! If that bore and the cement seal around the casing is so badly
fractured as you suggest (or report) then this would seem to be the
best option! Why not dangle a heavily weighted, submersible nuclear
device way down the bore, say to a depth of maybe 9,000 feet, about
half-way, and let 'er rip? Shouldn't get much fall-out, if any, at
such a depth as that. And you sure as hell would think the thing
would be closed off, if not entirely by the rock debris, then by the
gradual formation of hydrates.
