Nuclear attack is the most destructive attack type in-game. It requires 12 Military Action Points (MAP) to execute and has a 100% chance of destroying four enemy improvements upon a successful hit. Two of these improvements can be any improvement and the other two can be any non-power plant, non-military improvement. In the event that two such improvements are not available, it can destroy any improvement. A successful hit also reduces enemy resistance by 25, making it the least MAP efficient attack type in-game in terms of “MAP to resistance reduced” ratio. Like missiles, a nuclear attack also lets you choose the city you would like to target but it does not let you choose the type of improvements to target.

Nuclear attacks directly kill a portion of a city’s population and destroy very high amounts of infrastructure in targeted cities, capped at 2000. They also considerably increase pollution levels in that city causing a high disease rate and a low population that decays over the next 10 days.

Vital Defense System national project gives you a 25% chance of thwarting enemy nuclear attacks and reduces the number of non-power plant, non-military improvements destroyed by a nuke by 1. Fallout Shelter national project decreases damage from nuclear weapons by 10%, fallout length by 25%, and caps the radiation impact on food production at 90%.
