How does The AI handle nukes?
Does the Ai act any differently if you maintain a nuclear arsenal?
Also, how does the game calculate what improvements are destroyed by a nuke attack?
A point in the direction towards any threads on nuke tactics would be appreciated.

Probably. It did in civ 2 too, so I don't see any reason why they would have changed it. But I'm not sure

A nuke war strategy:
Especially if others also possess nukes, then before you use one, get all the other civs on your side through alliance or MPP. This will prevent an adverse reaction to your using your nuke(s), such as everyone declaring war on you and using their nukes on YOU.

What i was mainly wondering about is whether maintaining a healthy nuclear arsenal will deter the ai from declaring war.
Though anything having to do with the ins and outs of nukes is appreciated......

we did have a thread discussing that, and most people said that it helps boost up your armys rating!! So the AI will get a little scared, if you do launch a nuke, some civs, weather they like you or not, will launch a nuke against you!

Sombody said launching an uke into the sea would show some of them that your willing to use them! I think he was being serius!

do a search, i had a thread with almost the same title!
