NORAD's Cheyenne Mountain base completed in 1966 is capable of surviving 30 megaton explosions at just over 1 mile distance without damage. At least one direct hit of similar yield can be survived with minimal damage.

What kind of energy conversions takes place in a nuclear bomb explosion?

In a nuclear bomb explosion, the energy conversion involves the release of nuclear energy through the process of nuclear fission or fusion. This energy is then converted into thermal energy (heat), light energy (flash of light), and mechanical energy (shockwave). The explosion results from the rapid release of this energy.
