Math.
Our typical warhead (100kt) leaves a 200m radius crater if used to maximize the crater size. (Experiment in using nukes for mining and terrain shaping). We have less than 6000. 6000 π (0.2 km)^2^ ~ 6000(0.125km^2^ ) ~ 754km^2^ < 2,586 km^2^.

Nukes are dangerous because (other than the obvious) of what they do to the air, not the ground.
