Describing a vain, last-ditch effort to resolve a hopeless problem, often borne out of [desperation]. The measure normally has little to no chance of preventing an adverse result, and is often little more than a token display of action by the [responsible] party. Refers to the effort by authorities to use sea water to flood damaged reactors at the Fukushima Nuclear plant in March 2011. Although no viable options presented themselves [in the face] of impending meltdown, the gambit to use sea water had little chance of success and in fact ran the risk of producing flammabile hydrogren as a byproduct.
