Late in the game needing a boost in production, I found myself contemplating using nukes in a most unconventional way. I had a bunch of cities surrounded by rabbit-food (grasslands) giving piss-poor production. I also had a few tactical nukes lying around and about 100 workers who were mainly just sitting around in cities.
So I made sure everyone was wearing their blast glasses and detonated about 4 nukes in grassland areas around my cities, making sure none of the cities actually felt the effects of the blasts. In about 2 turns, all the pollution had dutifully been cleaned up by my workers, and I had terraformed lots of squares into more productive land.
I don't know if this has been talked about in the Strat. forum (sorry I don't read it). Anybody else try this?
