Some bombs are nuclear. But most bombs are not nuclear.
Russia currently owns the biggest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world. Also Russia made and detonated the biggest nuclear bomb in history called the Tsar bomb.
At the current time Russia has the most, followed closely by the US. These are controlled by limits set by START. The treaty allows Russia more and higher yield bombs because their ICBMs are slightly less accurate.
at this this time (2013) russia has the most, closely followed by the US. other countries have no more than 1/10 of what these do.

The United States currently owns 9,600 nuclear weapons, while Russia currently owns 16,800. But Russia actually always had more nuclear weapons than the United States. Russia was lacking in nuclear warheads from beginning of time to 1975. For various reasons, the USSR (and now Russia) have pretty much always had more ICBM weapons than the US, while the US maintained a larger stockpile of gravity bombs, SLBMs, and cruise missiles. Currently, as nuclear-tipped cruise missiles were forbidden under the START I treaty, only bombs, ICBMs, and SLBMs are in existence, with the number of 'usable' weapons varying over time.
