A bunker is very possible like the scenario you stated, but i doubt that'll be the case. That would just be lame and knowing JRoth, he'd have some sort of villain sabotage the bunker and have some dumb ass storyline that won't matter in the grand scheme of things.

I do think they'll introduce some sort of macguffin that can somehow, someway stop the meltdowns. Of course, they're scattered across the world and it takes them days to go from Arkadia (Virginia i believe) to Washington D.C., just imagine how long it would take to go everywhere else. There is no possible way and this is really just destined to fail, as a writer you shouldn't do that to have people hype up the next season because then you'd just write yourself into a corner.

But that's just it. Even if such a character or group of characters existed that knew how to stop the meltdowns, the chances of they succeeding are slim to none.

We're talking about power plants that have been neglected for hundreds of years or more. The simple fact that only now they're melting down, is in itself a miracle. By logic they should've all blown up centuries ago.

Their only chance is if somehow, somewhere, someone was developing a way to counter the radiation from the nukes that were used by ALIE, but they never got around to finish it. Preferably a group of scientists that never got a place in the arks. And it will be up to the cast to find the answer. Either by use of nanotechnology or bioengineering, it is theoretically possible to create something that can feed on radiation and turn it into something else. Preferably a non-hazardous waste material.

Besides this hypothesis I just mentioned, I see no credible way for them to stop any meltdown. Has you well put it, they even lack the means to make trips of that magnitude. Less alone coordinate and cross all fingers that every power plant safety systems were still operational.
