We don't even know if they have nuclear weapons in the RWBY-verse. Despite the technology level in the show being beyond what we have, keep in mind that technology has gone in a completely different direction. I mean Dust pretty much acts as the fuel source for everything within their world and is pretty safe to use considering they just sell it in shops. Nuclear power on the other hand is very dangerous and produces a lot of waste, so they may not have even bothered with it and instead diverted their attention to Hunter academies and giant robots.
