You are probably right about the mushroom clouds but in my scenarios I
would use a plot device or PSB to negate the nuclear threat. Something
along the lilnes of nuclear dampers like traveller or maybe an alien
threat
to use a planet killer device if  threatened with nuclear extinction.

This would give interesting SG scenarios Destroy the planet killer,
Knock
out the damper so we can nuke their power core etc. I like the idea of
some
Tac nukes still available but not being sure if they will work.
