We had a big argument over this in my suite a couple years ago. There was one Westerner advocating "nookyouler," but we dismissed that out of hand as totally ridiculous on the basis that there's no vowel between the c and the l. That left, I think, one person advocating noo-klee-er, which also sounds weird to me but at least makes a miniscule amount of phonetic sense, and a couple people who liked my favored noo-kleer.

As one guy so eloquently put it, "You got the 'new'... and you got the 'clear.' The 'new'... and the 'clear.' Nuclear."
