Vessels for the storage of liquid, such as crude oil, are formed by detonating a nuclear (or conventional) explosive under the surface of a permafrost area such as occurs in arctic and subarctic regions, to form an open crater. The walls of such a crater are naturally sealed or may be easily sealed liquidtight by the freezing of water in the pore spaces of the host media, whereby oil (or other product) may be stored in the permafrosted crater without seepage loss. Further, permafrost (or frozen moisture between the permafrost and the product to be stored) in the fallback material (rubble) in the crater will form an effective separation barrier between the oil (or other product) and residual radioactivity formed as a result of the nuclear detonation.
