Can an Underground Bunker Survive a Nuclear Bomb?

Bunkers are invulnerable establishments built to safeguard armed forces and civilians from efforts of war. An underground bunkers ability to withstand nuclear bombs depends on two parametersthe bunkers design and the bombs explosion dynamics. Bunkers are affected by all but high-altitude bursts. This exposes them to high temperatures, physical shocks from the blast wave, penetrative radiation, and fallout. Moreover, no bunker can completely mitigate the effects of a modern nuclear attack. Nuclear explosions near or under the earths surface initiate seismic activity, which can amplify their effects manifold. This would be extremely detrimental to the bunkers safety.
