By incorporating lithium in a "normal" fission weapon: the so called "dirty h-bomb".
A pure fission atomic bomb with a yield of a megaton or more is theoretically impossible. The problem is that the chain reaction would happen spontaneously before the device could even be completely built and the bomb parts would melt, resulting in a fizzle and killing everyone building it.The first fusion atomic bomb (commonly called a hydrogen bomb) was tested in 1952 as Ivy Mike and had a 10 megaton yield. The highest yield pure fission atomic bomb ever built was also tested in 1952 as Ivy King and had a 500 kilotons yield.
You can't, it is always generated. However "clean" fusion bombs can be designed that reduce the fallout compared to a conventional fusion bomb of the same yield to about 5%. However the cost to build these "clean" bombs is significantly higher per megaton of yield than conventional fusion bombs.
An atomic bomb can be a fission bomb or a fusion bomb. Fusion bombs create more energy but fission bombs leave radioactive material and radiation.
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.
That depends on the design. Traditionally fusion bombs have been more powerful than fission bombs, mostly because fusion yield has no limit (just add more stages) and fission is limited to around 1 megaton yield. However it is definitely possible to build small very low yield fusion bombs with yields far below traditional fission bomb yields, especially if your goal is to make "clean" low fallout tactical weapons (or potentially peaceful nuclear construction explosives - as was the goal of project Plowshare).
atom bomb
Well there is no "Megaton" bombs, but there are hydrogen bombs in the megaton range and they are a lot more powerful. An Atomic bomb can destroy a city. A Hydrogen bomb can destroy a country.
Greenhouse George. 225 kilotons.George is said to have "lit a fusion match with a fission blast furnace". The yield of the fission bomb that ignited George's fusion fuel was well in excess of 200 kilotons, the highest yield fission bomb detonated to that date. The actual fusion yield of George likely probably did not exceed 1 kiloton.Ivy Mike, 10 megatons, was the first true fusion bomb. About 1 megaton of that was fusion.

The nuclear fusion uses Hydrogen to produce Helium. The fusion also releases a lot of energy, which is what causes the explosion.
it can blow up tekos
the fusion pulse charge is given to you by mr. Burke in the bar in megaton. He will give it to you if you agree to blow up the town. then take the charge to the bomb, plant it, and meet Burke to blow it up and enjoy the show
The 50 Megaton "Tsar Bomba" hydrogen bomb tested by the USSR in 1961 is the strongest hydrogen bomb ever detonated. The 10 Megaton "Ivy Mike" hydrogen bomb tested by the U.S. in 1952 is the physically largest hydrogen bomb ever detonated.
Although the name suggests that the bomb solely uses nuclear fusion to create mass destruction, a Hydrogen bomb actually contains both fission and fusion fuels. Since fusion requires such a high energy input to initiate, a fission bomb is required to detonate the fusion component of the Hydrogen bomb, thereby releasing nuclear waste and radiation.

There are many differences, one is that it is impossible to build a pure fission atomic bomb with a yield above 1 megaton (the largest tested was 500 kilotons, half the limit) while there is no limit on the yield that a hydrogen bomb can produce. The difference in mechanism is that an atomic bomb gets all of its yield from fission of heavy isotopes (e.g. plutonium-239, uranium-235, uranium-233) while a hydrogen bomb gets a significant amount of its yield from fusion of isotopes of the light element hydrogen (deuterium and tritium).
