To match Special Report OIL-SPILL/NUKES

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton delivers a keynote address at a Center for American Progress/Democratic Leadership Council symposium to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing in Washington April 16, 2010. Picture taken April 16, 2010. A nuclear fix to the leaking well has been touted online and in the occasional newspaper op-ed for weeks now. Washington has repeatedly dismissed the idea and BP execs say they are not considering an explosion -- nuclear or otherwise. But as a series of efforts to plug the 60,000 barrels of oil a day gushing from the sea floor have failed, talk of an extreme solution refuses to die. Even former U.S. President Clinton has voiced support for the idea of an explosion to stem the flow of oil, albeit one using conventional materials rather than nukes.
