A nuclear bomb can be made with any desired yield from about 10 tons to well over 50 megatons in one single bomb. These numbers are just for tested devices that worked, there is no theoretical upper limit on the yield of fusion based bombs.

How powerful is a nuclear bomb?
A nuclear bomb is extremely powerful, and that's why there are many countries seeking to obtain this power. Since the US is such a "responsible" country, the president is only aloud to look at the directions of how to control our countries nuclear power when in an emergency. The power of a nuclear bomb is typically measured in kilotons or megatons. 1 megaton is the equivalent of 1 million tons of TNT (similar to dynamite) blowing up. The largest nuclear bombs were around 50 megatons, or 50 million tons (or 50 billion kilograms) of TNT. The smallest nuclear bombs were around 10 tons (yes, that is only 0.01 kiloton). Note that at this time (2013) no country stockpiles bombs either that large or that small (about 50 kilotons to 300 kilotons is currently typical). Also, a nuclear bomb is powerful enough to take out an entire city, while spreading deadly radioactive fallout throughout the area. There is still some leftover radiation in places like Hiroshima and the various above ground test sites.
