Never use more nuke than you have to, to get the job done. Fallout from even underground testing has been a disaster. Do you want the west coast to get hit with the fallout?

Radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons tests probably caused 17,000 cancer deaths in the United States in the latter half of the 20th century, a US-based environmental watchdog reports.

Radioactivity from Sellafield, weapons test fallout and nuclear power stations clings to fine particles of silt in estuaries and mud-flats in the sea. Silt is churned up by wave action; air bubbles burst, throwing microscopic particles into the air. These are blown onto the land and can be inhaled, resulting in high radiation doses to the body tissues they lodge in.
