The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

    This is a year old, but I still mean it!

     

    maybe my greatest contribution,  was my post...  "Bomb the reactors, a last ditch."  I really meant it from my readings, and schooling in practical science etc.   I didn't get any knowledgeable responses...  only jive reaction,  from those who are too stupid to talk on anything like this.
     
    Now why would those nit wits need to put that post off the web?   They didn't come up and give any good refutations to it,  even though though there were some "expert types"... like what's it...  well no matter,  I think I had the real answer there,  we could have bombed the reactors...  dispersed all the innards...   and with tech as it is...  that could have been an explosive that could have expelled the effluent or products of the blast,  onto the adjacent hill,  where it would of course remain dangerous,  as well as a problem into the future,  but however,  much less the danger than to allow the fission melt down.
     
    My post has been taken down,  that shows just how little brain power there really is in the FDL  site.
     
    I think my idea should have been taken and done by the us government,  unilaterally.    I think I was correct...   they should have blasted the Fukasheema power plant,  and put the dirty stuff up onto the hill,  where it could be dealt with in many a year to come...  but no...  they let it melt down.
     
    If the whole thing would have been exploded it would stop the fission...  duh.

      Well I think I was probably prescient again, (that’s in my post, Bomb the Reactor, a last ditch )
      Since nuc power, especially in bombs happens from the criticality that is when the refined fuels are pushed into proximity, and then they just have to react.
      The main thing is to bring a close to the out of control reactions
      The adjescent area should be made ready first by leveling with massive explosives, The air force knows what kind of bombs to use for that, then when leveled a several hundred foot flattened field, will be a place to disperse the fuel rods. Either the demo guys that take down the big buildings, or other explosives engineering like special bombs that the air force can get, to put the cores out onto the field and disburse there.
      The fuel, should be scattered over an adjecent area by any means available, explosives would be available.
      Disbursal with intstitial space, stops most of the reacting, then that debris field can be paved with as much borate and concrete as you need.
      In addition this will enable some access in a shorter time to any part of the area, as will be needed. It will spread it out.
      Since I don’t know what I’m talking about, I won’t be insulted by informed criticism of this idea, though nobody has spoken to the basic problem of the critical mass of fuel and the need to disburse to stop much more on going pollution.
      It would be analogous to a huge camp fire that a camper would rake out over a bit of ground, and then shovel dirt over it to extinquish.
