Some more context is needed. As it stands, the term 'nominal compound' could mean either of two things:
(i) compound where both elements are nouns, e.g. credit card, dog food, bus stop, government inquiry. These can be grouped into larger compounds wholly consisting of nouns, e.g. credit card fraud, credit card fraud legislation. Probably, this is what is meant. But it could also mean:
(ii) compound where the result is nominal (behaves like a noun), though the parts aren't: e.g. small businessman, revolving door, down arrow.
