I'm sceptical of its supposed 'nuclear proofing'. There are no apparent channels for blast pass-through or dissipation so the full force would act against the entire exposed face of the building. In that case it would act as a giant lever on its foundations. It looks more like a hugely scaled-up traditional 'bomb-proof' bunker. As an example of a structure that did survive a much lesser nuclear blast, the Fukoku building in Hiroshima was 270 metres from groud-zero and remained structurally intact as the blast blew through all the aligned windows: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8adFNycaanI/TQlhoXfPW0I/AAAAAAAABto/fy9BDqLj7fQ/s400/Dirkwood%2Bx101%2BFukoku%2Bbuilding%2BHiroshima.JPG http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8adFNycaanI/TQlhoXfPW0I/AAAAAAAABt...
