The use of nuclear weapons on deeply buried targets would be even worse, with radiation sickness, burning bodies, and years and years of misery and land contaminated through all of time. Even a nuclear weapon used on a remote target (and this they say is likely, because at least one of the important targets is buried and remote) would cause tens of thousands of deaths from ionizing radiation.
