It doesn't look like anybody is doing anything effective or at least anything practical to contain/stop the Fukashima radiation disaster.What I was wondering as a remedy,beyond the concrete entombment like in Chernobyl is if some other method could be used.What I was thinking about was various early nuclear tests where atomic bombs were set off in heavy steel containers.Also Russia experimented with a particle beam weapon where a nuke was set off in a long,heavy metal cylinder that had a small opening at one end to release this particle or energy beam.So what we see is a nuclear bomb being shielded or contained by a heavy steel casing.Since there doesn't seem to be any sophisticated technology being used to deal with the Fukashima crisis could this crude method work? Could a very thick (maybe hundreds of feet?) metal case or ball be built to completely surround the Fukashima reactors.Also what if the fuel in the Fukashima reactors could be ignited (by a nuke) placed inside this monstrously thick metal ball.Would the ball remain intact and stifle the explosion and if it did would this allow a quicker degradation of the radiation and a safer disposal of it?
