I'd rather have a big rocket place a chemical stage on an impactor as put a nuke on that Delta. Its solids have been known to explode. The SRBs are actually safer--and have caisson-like construction to really hold them together.

And we launch the Delta II to hit Comet Wright---#######! Run---fallout!

Keep nukes on HLLVs--with engine-out capability.
