How about a new unit - Hazardous materials engineer (hazmat for short). 
That would be the only unit that could approach fallout without
getting damaged.  They would be available when the civilization
discovers nuclear weapons. 

Regular engineers could still be able to clean up regular pollution, but
hazmat engineers would be able to it faster.
