Also keep in mind it didn't have to be just one warhead, just add up to about that much. Could have been smaller strikes in the nearby areas designed to take out the support for the base and render the area uninhabitable for a while. One warhead could have been targeted at the front door to prevent those inside getting out (perhaps the hope was their communications would be cut off and they'd eventually starve to death or die from radiation when they were forced to come out - does away with the need for a massive bunker buster).
We also know radiation half life was radically reduced for the game so that the entire planet wouldn't become just one radioactive wasteland.
