Dug around a bit and there's actually a promotion variable that can be used to make units immune to nukes: NukeImmune = true.
If anyone is interested.

Thanks, Gazebo.
How, if at all, do you think this change would influence the AI's behaviour regarding the use of nukes?

Ah, ok, I thought that perhaps that would warrant some kind of coding changes to ensure the AI know it'll be leaving enemy nukes intact after nuking a city, like crdvis16 mentioned.
Thanks for the reply.
Understood.
To be clear, I'm not currently planning on altering nukes or their behavior. I personally feel that the system is fine as-is.

What about an increase in nuke hammer cost?
Considering the destruction that nukes can do, they are awfully cheap.
I happen to get into a nuke heavy game in my current game (first me and now my enemy is nuking). I had the uranium and considering this thread, I though I would really try nukes to the fullest.
I have found that nukes are amazing when I don’t want to Invade and just knock my enemy down. One bomb drops a pop 30 city to ~15 along with whatever building and terrain destruction.
With a carrier, I can hit a lot of cities st once...and those cities will never really recover. Later era units cost more and do far less. The GDR is a laughable waste of uranium!
Since nukes don’t have the diplomatic penalties like in real life...I think a big hammer bump at least is something to reflect the “actual price” of using nukes.
Is this as widespread an issue, though? I don't want to leave late-game war in a weird spot re: nukes, but I also don't want to overnerf them, as it is a fun (ahem) part of late-game conflict.

Was there a stealth fix on nukes?
I just dropped 4 nukes on the enemy capital, and there airforce wasn't scratched. If that's intended then I am on board! But last time I nuked in the previous version it took them out, so I was checking.

Nope.
