The cratering radius of a 300KT (B-61) nuclear explosion in rock is about
900 feet. If the bunker is more than 10X that distance (45 days drilling), a
maximum yeild explosion is unlikely to collapse the bunker.

Still, even if the bunker survived, how exactly would the occupants
exit, if the entrance hole (or holes) no longer exist?

Press on: nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
