    TL;DR

    The missile holding the warhead exploded but not the actual nuke itself:

    A massive intercontinental ballistic missile – the Titan II – exploded inside the missile silo base in Arkansas. At the time, the missile was armed with a massive 9.5 megaton thermonuclear warhead.

    Miraculously, the warhead inside the missile did not explode. It was, however, lost for about a day until it was discovered, nearly two hundred meters away from the missile silo. Fortunately for the workers near the site, and thousands of others surrounding the immediate area, the safety features encasing the nuclear warhead prevented a cataclysmic fissile reaction from happening, and prevented the leak of any radioactive material.
