When I was playing Civilization II in the late 1990s I figured out how to more effectively utilize nuclear weaponry without increasing world pollution. Granted, this solution mainly deals with naval-centric games but it works nonetheless.
Use your nuclear weapons to destroy incoming naval fleets/invasion armadas. Such an action will not only destroy whatever occupied the main tile, but also results in damage from the tile radius. For some reason, this will not affect oceans, possibly because the game engine cannot improve ocean tiles.
I hope this helps fellow atomic warmongers! :)
