That's the one part I'm going to have to make some guesswork on:
They blow it up pretty deep underground, I think. Like, deep enough for it to work and not have a significant effect beyond a sign that says "Don't go down this hole."

I may be misunderstanding what you're suggesting, but as a rule I don't think you can actually nuke anything without serious environmental repercussions, let alone that deep underground. It would probably cause a tsunami, or fuck with the continental shelf. Nuking it seems like one of those "replace a big problem with an even bigger one" kind of scenarios.
