It might be hard to Nuke' these bacteria. They survive kilometers underground and essentially harvest the chemical products that result from radiactivity emitted by Uranium deposits. Instead of harvesting radiation from the sun, they get it from the Earth, and thus enable an entire ecosystem of bacteria to survive off their waste products, because they've evolved to use chthonic radiation. May the biosphere grow on!
