The idea has gained traction as successive conventional attempts at ending the spill have failed.
Browner said that the approach was way too risky, and could even make it worse.
"I think that's right, it's not a great idea to put a lot of radiation out in our oceans. I also think you could end up with an uncontrolled situation — rather than just having one point of leakage, which is this well, you could end up with a lot of places leaking," she explained. "This is obviously a very difficult situation, but we wouldn't want to make it more difficult."
