Patent for nuclear tunnel boring machine!

I dont know if any of you have senn this before but here is the link.Patent!

That's really interesting, and is the kind of thing I come to abovetopsecret to see. Is there any evidence this device was built and successfully demonstrated?

Do not work for me just a # and blank pages

Forgot to mention you need Quicktime!

You have to install the viewer software. Look around on the site for it.

On the more conventional boring machines with the grinding wheels in front, and that cast concrete walls as they go, I've heard somewhere they can potentially tunnel 6 miles a day unless they hit solid rock. That seems incredible to me. I don't believe it.
