So... I take it all this infrastructure would be built underground? Including that giant detonation chamber made to accommodate a nuclear explosion (I suppose you could just nuke that void into existence rather than drill...)?
Sounds more efficient to just build a standard nuclear reactor and use the energy from that to drive pumps aboce ground to accomplish the same purpose.

if you nuke the ground it'ss just fracture and fall back down
probably interesting what might happen to the stuff right next to the nuke (plasmatised and dispersed? stuff slightly further away melted and re-thawed into some new mineral?)
