new - clee - ur
I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook

No, that's wrong unless you're George W. Bush. This is for anyone who reads this, nuclear is pronounced exactly how it looks. It would sound like this, new-clear.

Eh... I think I was right. Look in Webster's dictionary.
