  I remember someone dismissing Hyper Velocity missiles as "propaganda".

  For reactor tolerance to sudden shifts, USSR/Russia is the only country using nuke powered icebreakers. And those reactors are built exactly to withstand both  constant power regulation and sudden strikes, shifts, etc. The thing ground reactors both hate.

  Project Pluto was a United States government program to develop nuclear-powered ramjet engines for use in cruise missiles. Two experimental engines were tested at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) in 1961 and 1964 respectively.<br><br>The &nbsp;major problem ...SLAM concept was the environmental damage caused by radioactive emissions during flight, and the disposal of the reactor at the end of the mission.[43] In addition to the ejection of radioactive gases during the flight,[10] Merkle estimated that about 100 grams of fission products would be produced, of which he expected a few grams to be released and dispersed over a wide area.[9]

  They testet it allready. They were in the Air for many hours. A German Investigator named Thomas Röper Had this a maintopic in one of His Sessions. They have one Job: fly to the target and destroy it. They can stay in the Air as a sort of Standoff-last-surviver-weapon.

  The worst thing about these missiles is if they enter your airspace, you can&apos;t shoot it down because you&apos;ll get Fukushima falling on your territory.
