How does one operate these i.e. ask a specific unit to make a nuclear strike on another target?

First they have to be authorized via event.
Once nukes are authorized for a side, that side will have a specified number of nuclear strikes allowed. They can be performed by units that have equipment with nuclear strengths. The attack pop-up will have the Nuclear Attack option available for such units.
Once chemicals are authorized, all ranged equipment will be assumed to be using chemicals - making their attacks more lethal. This is especially true immediately after first authorized. The impact decays over time, though.

It's ironic that I got the answer from a guy whose user name is a former SAC head...
Where specifically is the attack pop-up? I couldn't find it.

Read section 10.5.3 in the manual. You may also need to read section IX item 40 of the 3.4 section of the What's New.pdf, depending upon how your Advanced Rule choices are set up.
