“....time to quit fooling around and nuke the well.”
I’ve seen this mentioned a couple of times. For those of us slow to this, what would that do? Is the theory that the blast would eliminate the leak by eliminating the source?
...based on the sucessful Russian esperiance it broke the flow...they were working on a land based well however...nobody wants a nuke, but after all else fails, there will be no choice I expect.
