One of the basic premises of Prime Base is that it needs to be in the middle of no place. How about this instead: The base is someplace that is nearly certain to be nuked, but just a little bit. The idea is that the base will be kept secret after the war because it will be in a dead zone. Now that means the post war recording stuff will need to be far off and still somewhat connected.

It frees up a lot of terrain for the base. You just need to make sure there are no targets that would best be serviced with either a REALLY big nuke, or one that is designed to burrow.
