Noo-klee-er but, 'Noo' sounds like 'Nou' to me while I pronounce it as Nu (New)-klee-er.

This is how we say it amungst ourselves at work. I work at a Nuclear Power Plant. NOBODY (except a temp Secretary I had a long time ago) at work says Nu-que-lar.
NYU-klee-ar and NYU-klee-er are acceptable and sometimes we even hear NU-klee-er.
I had an intern once that insited on using NUC-ler. He is a chemist now.
I think Dubya is one of the best POTUS that we have had in a long while. He's got cajones. But I still shake my head everytime he says "nucular".

Our president pronouces it with "knucle" (Nuck-Clee-Er is close to what it sounds like)

I almost started to spell 'nuclear' based on Bush's pronounciation.

Doesn't matter, if it happens you're toast either way.
