Just airburst the nuke, standard practice for maximum areal devastation and minimal fallout and by the time Frodo gets there most of the radiation has already dissipated and he can just trot along completely devastated and empty landscape. First 48-72h are the most dangerous and after 14 days it’s mostly safe.
Depending on the size of Mordor more than one nuke might be needed.
Based on Google, Mordor seems to be bigger than Poland so an ICBM capable of carrying multiple warheads, up to 10-15, would be more suited for maximum areal destruction.
Yeah but then someone would have to make it to Mt Doom through nuclear fallout.
Probably in his heart Frodo would begin to understand… The quest would claim his life

Could just destroy the ring in a fusion reactor.
