How would you fix this? Am I dumb for thinking just bury it in concrete?
>>2992309Yes, you are. If the thing goes critical it will cause a chemical reaction that will cause an explosion. Not a fireworks explosion, a rapidly expanding chemical reaction. This requires no outside input at all. No air, no fire, nothing. The chemicals inside the tank have everything they need to go critical and just need to warm up to kick off the expansion phase of the runaway reaction. If the chemicals inside the tank get hot enough it will simply explode like a tank of compressed air that popped. Think failed water heater, not C4. So what are they doing? Hitting the thing with water to try and cool the fucker down. Why is it like this? Form what I heard the safety systems failed and they were unable to drain the tank due to the chemical reaction clogging the value. That info may change.So, what would putting it in wet concrete do? A few things. It would mean they can no longer hit it was cold water to try an cool it, basically guaranteeing it pops. Wet concrete also HEATS UP was it cures. Not exactly what you want to do in this situation. Enough concrete to actually contain the explosion would also take ages to cure enough to actually contain it. Concrete is very good under compressive loads. It is dogshit under tension. Having a to contain a rapidly expanding chemical reaction is exactly the kind of thing concrete is bad at.Stay in school kids.
>>2992320So what would you do?
Could you crane in a steel box?
>Move it to Portland>Let it go critical
>>2992326fuck off were fullt. pdx adjacent
>>2992322Hit that shit with a fuckton of cold water, evacuate everyone nearby, seal off any drains in the area, and have the containment crew locked and loaded (picture related) for when the thing goes off.From my understanding, that is what they have done. The shit is toxic but rather short lived when exposed to the environment. As long as they can keep it out of the soil and the water table and no one lacking proper safety gear* is in the area when it goes it should be fine. Mop up what you can and late the rest oxidize into less hardful stuff.*Someone get those inbred shitlords from >>2945320 to go work on this without safety gear. See how long then and 'suck it up' with a lung full of this stuff. That will slow you down a lot more than the blade guard on their circular saw.>>2992322Sounds very much like how you make a hand grenade.

>>2992309Shoot it.
