RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT WILL BE MINIMAL FOR NUKES USED TO SEAL OIL SPILLS. Foster, Daniel. "Nuke It - Article" National Review Online. 2 June 2010. Web. 25 Aug. 2010. . That is why Obama should be discussing the possibility of using anatomic weapon to seal the leak.

Assuming the bomb could be delivered close enough to the drill channel, the yield required would be relatively small. Moreover, well-established formulae establish the burial-depth-to-yield ratios that make it possible to trap virtually all of the radioactive fallout within the sub-oceanic bedrock.
