In R=k[t1​,t2​,…]/(t12​,t22​,…), the nilradical is generated by all tˉi​. Every element uses finitely many variables and is nilpotent, while each square-free product tˉ1​⋯tˉj​ is nonzero. Thus this nilradical is not a nilpotent ideal. A Noetherian ring cannot have this behavior: finitely many nilpotent generators give a nilpotent ideal.
