Nuke the BP oil spill drill hole, it will seal it just as the Russians have done at 9 other sites

...or it will rupture the reservoir and caprock, like a super=frac, and then there will be numerous uncontrolled and uncontrollable seeps in the floor of the Gulf until the reservoir depletes, instead of one 10 inch pipe.

Keep your skivvies on.

The blowout in '79 took nine months to get under control and the gulf recovered. If anything, a relief well can be drilled in 1/3 or less time than that took, and the well sealed by more conventional means, without radiation.

The Russians had a couple that did not work, iirc. Maybe you should talk about those.

Now if the Bummer admin will stop forbidding measures to mitigate the spill in the meantime! Such as barriers to hinder it from getting to land, and dispersants to hasten its biodegradation.
