Oops double post!

I hope this guy's way off base, for Japan's sake. I'm definitely no nuclear physicist but that kind of makes sense to me.
Someone like the Kryssan signal for breakdown on bs/no bs.
I think he just has "nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure" on the brain. sounds like a crazy.
nope, just that was enough to know it wasn't worth looking at, heh
There are precisely 1 problems solved by nuclear warheads, and this isn't one. Guy is insane, if him and his "PHD" really exist.

He said use a 10 kiloton fission device in the reactors...10 kiloton is 10,000 tons of force explosive right??? Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombs were close to 1 megaton which was 1,000,000 tons of force in measurement...so if they were to detonate a 10 kiloton fission device, it'd be 100 times weaker than the nukes used in World War 2.
Before you start posting stupid shit you should read wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent
The Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, exploded with an energy of about 15 kilotons of TNT (63 TJ).
Let's drop 66% of that on a malfunctioning nuclear reactor and see what happens.
Unless Hawaii has 2 Dr. Thomas Burnett who like to write for one of their newspapers...He grew up and attended school in Texas, receiving a Ph.D. in Earth Science from the University of Texas in Austin.
He joined the Marine Corps in 1966 and is a Vietnam War veteran. After leaving the Marines, he joined the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. While there, duties included serving as a training officer and as a forensic investigator. After retiring from the sheriff’s department, he moved to Hawaii in 1997.

More swine flu, nothing to see here, move on.
megatons of stupidity etc.
Not even worth pointing out the stupidity. links that answer all these "questions" have already been provided in this thread.
ITT: people are dumb.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't exploding a nuclear warhead in the reactors release more radiation and just worsen the reactions? <_<; I thought the way to put a damper on nuclear reactions is to have something that absorbs free neutrons and the like, keeping them from colliding into other atoms and splitting them, which prevents those split atoms from releasing more free neutrons that continue the reaction.
Ignore the Jamaican idiocy. Seriously, just put him on ignore. "And nothing of value was lost"
Thats gotta be the dumbest shit I've ever heard... Whoever said bullet to the brain to cure a headache is correct in their analogy.
