I couldn't find any reference to the "American Association for the English Language" on Google or MSN searches, nor could I find any news story about a recent pronunciation change to the word "nuclear." I believe the original story may have been a hoax.
(This article states that the variant pronunciation "nucular" has been listed by Merriam-Webster's dictionary since 1961: http://www.slate.com/id/2071155 )
