One worry that I'd have with nuking the oil well is that the radiation might likely settle towards the bottom of the gulf. A strong hurricane would bring up water from the lower oceanic levels, so we might just have a radioactive hurricane.
Having read up on a half dozen underwater detonations, it's my understanding that the deeper the detonation, the less one has to worry about radiation.
