PIPEX ServerBank and thebunker.net do seem to be the most widely known
'nuclear-proof' secure datacentres, but there are others out there.
The big gotcha seems to be getting the electrics, cooling and being
on-net to multiple fibre providers to match the physical security.
Thats where most of the others don't score so well IMHO, excepting
the host of government/finance/etc facilities that don't sell space
to anyone anyway.

http://www.thebunker.net is the one that comes to my mind when I think of
"ex millitary, bomb proof colo facility".
