You'd usually want to know where the bomb is, or get codes to disarm it. And yes torture does work. The real problem is you might have the wrong guy, but that's another question.

Torture doesn't work like shown on 24. And no, you don't need codes to disarm nuclear weapons. If you damage a nuclear bomb even a bit there's no real nuclear explosion.
People often take days before they break. That time is enough to bring an atomic bomb to another place or even detonate it.
You also get a lot of false evidence because the terrorist will tell you a lot of places where he planted the bomb that he just made up. That wastes resources of the law inforcement in question that doesn't check as much other evidence as they should.
Lastly, the human brain doesn't really work well when it comes to remembering stuff when the whole body is completely down and stressed.
