Victoria did some work on this (as on many other concepts, top notch and helpful). The nuke defense needed varies based on attack vector.

If you have AA within 1 tile of the target the following is the case.

For silo launched nukes they are stopped always
For bomber dropped nukes, if your AA does more than 50% damage to the bomber it fails to drop.
For sub launched there seems to be no defence.
