How the Soviets Put Out Oil Well Fires by Using Nuclear Bombs
- slezyr 5y ago> Then again in July the same year, another runaway gas well in Ukraine was sealed with a 3.8 kiloton nuclear explosion at a depth of more than 2.4 km. This is not true. https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%BB_(%D1%8F%D0%B4%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%85) https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%BB... > Експеримент не мав успіху: закрити викид за допомогою вибуху не вдалося. Газовий факел згасили через кілька місяців стандартними методами. > The experiment was not successful: the runaway was not sealed with the explosion. Gas flare was exhausted with standard methods a few months after.
