Title: State wants updated risk plan on nearby cavern
Source: AP
Date: August 14, 2012 at 4:48p ET
State agencies say they’ve asked the company owning a natural gas pipeline that was bent by an expanding sinkhole in Assumption Parish for an updated risk management plan on a nearby butane storage cavern.
[...]
The cavern houses 940,000 barrels of butane.
Department of Environmental Quality Secretary Peggy Hatch says she’s asked for an updated worst-case analysis out of “an abundance of caution.” She said Tuesday that she wants the analysis to include the possible release of the largest amount of butane in the cavern.
Officials say they expect the analysis to be in by Wednesday.

CB's worst-case analysis ….. A really big dirty bomb.

Your analysis is probably correct.

Analysis due by Wednesday, of course, the damn thing may blow sky high long before then.

1 Gallon of Butane = 103,000 BTU.
42 Gallons in an oil barrel,
so figure 500,000 BTU per barrel or
5EE5 BTU/Barrel
multiply by 1 Million
5 EE 11 or just under 1 trillion BTU
works out to about 252 KTon, now it may not all go at once, but Hiroshima was 16 kTon,
so, could be truly exciting, in that watching Khali dance kind of way

130,000(BTU / Gal) x 42(Gal / Bl.)= 5.46 EE6 (BTU / Barrel)
I am perfectly fine with estimating but you missed a decimal place in the first multiplication problem. Using your stats (1mil barrels, 103k BTU/gal and 42 gal/barrel)you should get:
1,377 kTon or
1.377 MEGATON!! which is approx 86 Hiroshima's
I am aware of other calculations putting it near 100 times and I think they were using a larger volume of gas (I think 1.4 mil barrels).

Sinkhole: H-Bomb explosion equivalent in Bayou Corne possible ~ examiner
The 1.5 million barrels of liquid butane 1500 feet from the sinkhole has an explosive capacity of 100 Hiroshima nuclear bombs, 1.5 times the explosive force of the largest thermonuclear weapon in current service in the U.S., according to Wikipedia scientific data and popular citizen reporter, Dutchsince, and confirmed by Dupré's sources this weekend.

And what a bonus they have pre-made radioactivity

Other people build hightech facilities for creating nuclear bombs. Louisiana can do it in a sinkhole! Now that's what I call an invention.

Nuclear waste in salt caverns – not a good idea. Mark posted something on another thread about the Asse nuclear waste dump in Germany which is an old salt mine and on the brink of collapse and being flooded by groundwater (currently, 12 tons daily are leaking in).
Nuclear waste drums were literally thrown in between 1967 and 1978 – this dump was meant to last eternally (said the polititians, haha).
Here's a 36 sec.-animation showing what it looks like – the red caverns are the one filled with waste. Now HOW on earth should anyone get the stuff out of there?
