Abstract
We discuss the possibility of utilizing the ultra-high energy neutrino beam (about 1000 TeV) to detect and destroy the nuclear bombs wherever they are and whoever possess them.

There's a fun paper on how you could use a particle accelerator to blow up nuclear weapons in their silos from the other side of the planet with a neutrino beam. There would be no defense against this (highly fanciful) countermeasure. https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/0305062.pdf
There was a nice paper a few years back suggesting essentially the same thing as a method for detonating other people's nukes: http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0305062
