Want to survive 50 megaton nuclear blast?

An American company, Vevos, is claiming to have an underground shelter that sustains life for a year after a 50 megaton nuclear explosion (within a ten mile radius). It's probably a really expensive scam, considering the "end times" rhetoric on the company's website... but an interesting thought, nonetheless.

Vevos's shelters are underground communities that can hold 3,400 people. They have furnished living quarters that are self-sustaining, and some other interesting perks like a DNA depository for every living species on earth.
