An atomic bomb is any bomb that derives its energy from the atomic nucleus, it may do this by either the process of fission of heavy nuclei or the process of fusion of light nuclei. Atomic bombs can also be called nuclear bombs.
I don't really understand what you mean by "make it less powerful". The US has made tactical atomic weapons with yields as low as 0.1KTon (100 tons TNT equivalent), however I don't know if they are still stockpiled (they are very inefficient and wasteful in their use of plutonium). For optimal efficiency in use of uranium or plutonium in pure fission atomic bombs, a yield of 200KTons to 400KTon is preferred, however I know no such bombs are still stockpiled as compact fusion bombs in this yield range and higher are both more efficient and much cheaper to build.
