It is short for "nucleus".  Pronounce it like the first syllable of that word.  You will hear it pronounced every which way.

Got a chuckle from this post!  Thanks!  Around here it rhymes with chuck.  Never heard it like it rhymes with nuke, like no nukes.

Around here we pronounce like nuc as in nuclear bomb.  Cause as everybody knows, beekeepings a real blast.
