There isn’t a country on earth that would actually allow Russia to park an actual nuclear bomb off their coast. Even the ones aligned with Russia. Oh, how do you build a sarcophagus on a sunk nuclear reactor?

- hvidgaard 8y agoThere is no need to build a sarcophagus around a sunken nuclear reactor. Water is a great radiation stopper, to the extend that you can actually build and operate an "open" reactor where you can look directly down to the core and see the blue glow from the Cherenkov radiation. It would probably be wise to fence it off somehow.
- spiralx 8y agoPerhaps like this one at Reed College in Portland? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLBcp3nJlFQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLBcp3nJlFQ
- gambiting 8y agoUhm, you don't, because water is absolutely fantastic at blocking radiation - just several meters of it would block literally all radiation from a reactor gone critical. Not to mention that nuclear reactors are not bombs, not any more than coal fired power plant boilers are bombs.
- petre 8y agoIt doesn't prevent radioactive elements leaking into the water though.
