Most everyone I hear in the US, and many Brits, say "new-kya-ler" instead of "nu-klee-er."
Here in nuclear-free NZ (subtle plug emoticon), the "standard" pronunciation is "nyu-clear", though "nu-kya-ler" and "nyu-kya-ler" are very common as well. If we can't even say the word, how can we be trusted to use it? (With humblest apologies to Baron Rutherford of Nelson)
