If you nuke Far Harbor, the player character will be given the Far Harbor Survivalist perk, and upon returning to Far Harbor, there will be a commotion, with Harbormen gathering around and Captain Avery announcing that there was, indeed, a nuclear detonation, and that all Children of Atom are dead. The destruction of Far Harbor will have significant consequences, including the inability of the Children of Atom to maintain the fog condensers, ultimately leading to their destruction.
