Mabye a new planet modification facility for cleaning up fallout? Better yet, if you've got the Temporal tech tree, an enhanced Version that works much quicker (make it like Planet Utilization levels 10,11, and 12, with some level of Temporal Technology). You'd have to stay in the domes while the cleanup takes place, even if the atmosphere is breathable by your race (minus radioactive particles and other nasty stuff). This way, you can incinerate a planet if that's your style, but it costs a LOT in terms of research (to get the tech), time and resources to build these facilities, so it'd tend to discourage nuking planets to glass early on in the game.
