Not in any usable form. It would be vaporized and strewn across hundreds of square miles. We don’t even know what type of weapons Israel used on the facility. Would take a long time to clean up the facility and even longer to recover the scattered material, if that’s even possible. Would be somewhat akin to the incident where a US B-52 carrying multiple nuclear warheads crashed and/or dumped its cargo to avoid crashing somewhere in Spain. Real nasty aftermath. No detonations, but there was dispersal. Not a short-term cleanup.

I don’t think conventional explosives capable of vaporizing uranium or plutonium. The masses are so dense, I can’t believe it would not remain intact.

The initial Atom bomb used an encasing explosive shell to densify to critical mass. I can’t believe an external explosive force would be stronger than the atomic bonds of the mass causing it to vaporize or fly apart.

I discount the possibility of an IAF nuclear device in this incident. We would know by now.
