Sentry survived a nuke unscathed too though.
Nukes are pretty much nothing to pre-reboot Superman, and haven't really been for a very long time. He took an atomic blast straight up, while standing in kryptonite, and contained the blast and cloud. This was while he was so weak he was nearly powerless.
So, if you consider them on a close level, an atomic weapon is nothing.
If he's even more powerful. It's less than that.

The Nuke that hit the KC crowd was designed with killing Superman [and heros/villains in general] in mind, and was even supposed to be unstoppable.
Keeping in mind where we left off in the arms race in 60s, it's estimated that only about 10 thousand or so 50-100 megaton bombs they were last producing would blow the planet apart and wipe out all life.
Superman and Doomsday survived the force of 1,000,000 atomic blasts point blank while battling on Apokalips.

I'm curious, where was that figure estimated?
100 megatons x 10,000 would be 1 million megatons.
The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs was estimated at 100 million megatons.
Granted, 10,000 hundred megaton nukes could be spread out farther than one asteroid, but I don't believe the square milage of total destruction would even equal out to a decent sized country, let alone the planet.
