Nuclear weapons are governed by international agreements such as the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. Additionally, there are regional and bilateral agreements that regulate the use and possession of nuclear weapons among specific countries. Some countries also have domestic laws pertaining to nuclear weapons possession and testing.
the UK did some of its nuclear weapon test shots there.
A nuclear weapon is one of the most powerful weapons in existence, so it is difficult to say if there is a specific weapon that is definitively stronger. However, some may argue that certain future technologies, such as antimatter weapons or advanced cyber warfare capabilities, could potentially surpass the destructive power of a nuclear weapon.
Some of the US global policies include promoting democracy and human rights, maintaining international alliances and partnerships, enforcing trade agreements, combating terrorism, and addressing climate change through international agreements.
There are two technically difficult aspects of making a nuclear weapon. First, you have to have a sufficient amount known as a critical mass, of some fissile material, usually plutonium or the U235 isotope of uranium. Secondly, you have to have a mechanism that will bring together the two halves of the fissile material extremely rapidly. If they do not come together rapidly enough, instead of the desired chain reaction you just get a lot of heat, and the device melts (much like a melt-down of a nuclear reactor). That's the key. I will leave the details to you.
The Air Force Nuclear Enterprise encompasses the development, maintenance, and operation of nuclear weapons. Key aspects include ensuring the safety, security, and effectiveness of the nuclear arsenal, maintaining a credible deterrence posture, and complying with arms control agreements and international obligations. Training personnel on nuclear operations, maintaining infrastructure, and collaborating with other branches of the military are also crucial elements.
France is part of the "nuclear club" so we would assume that the most powerful weapon in France is some kind of Hydrogen bomb/warhead.
A nuclear weapon can be dropped from a plane by using strategic bombers or fighter jets equipped with release mechanisms that allow the weapon to be safely deployed at a specified altitude and location. The plane flies over the target area, releases the weapon, and quickly moves away to a safe distance before detonation. This method is part of nuclear deterrence strategies employed by some countries.

Some nuclear weapons can be fitted to missiles. In the case of an ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles) a nuclear weapon can be outfitted so that it can reach distant points on the globe.
A nuclear weapon is any device which utilizes the power produced by either nuclear fission or fusion (mostly fission) to inflict damage upon some type of target. Almost all, if not all nuclear weapons are explosives, either bombs or missile warheads.
Richard Rhodes books "The making of the Atomic Bomb" and "Dark Sun" have some reasonable diagrams to go by.
