No. The first WW2 atomic bomb was rated in terms of Kilo-tons and was a fission explosion. The largest bombs developed during the Cold War was a hydrogen bomb using fussion and it was rated in the Mega-ton or equivalent to Million of tons of TNT. Of course, modern bombs have been designed with low kilo-ton power that can be used as a tactical weapon---meaning it is designed to destroy a local area and not an entire city. Actually, being a rocket scientist myself, Jason Knox, i believe that the most powerful atomic bomb is the current 254-U system that has a range of 200 miles radius and can obliterate the scene that was intended.
