I was somewhat jolted by your suggestion that we terraform Venus by 
nuking it. If possible, I'd rather see it terraformed to a livable
pre-holocaust earth likeness.

Seriously,
1. Do we need to remove all the deuterium before building an
   atmosphere ?
2. I would expect the explosion to leave a vacuum (and no planet).
   Are you expecting to find a planet with some atmosphere ?
