No. LLNL even tested several Uranium-Hydride bombs in the 1950s. Even though their computer models said the devices should explode, none gave a nuclear yield. One could use the waste from the reactor as a Radiological Weapon, but the reactor itself is not useful as a weapon.
The biggest nuclear weapon ever tested was the Tsar Bomba, a hydrogen bomb detonated by the Soviet Union in 1961. It had a yield of 50 megatons, making it the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated.
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.
The amount of radiation produced by a nuclear weapon can vary depending on its size and yield. However, a single detonation of a nuclear weapon can produce tens of thousands to millions of rads within the immediate vicinity of ground zero. This level of radiation exposure can be lethal to humans and cause widespread health effects.
No, a single nuclear weapon is not powerful enough to blow up an entire continent. The destructive power of a nuclear weapon is concentrated in a relatively small area known as the blast radius. The impact would be devastating locally, but the effect would not extend to an entire continent.
Because they feel insecure.

The meaning of the word nuclear weapon, is a weapon that has a nuclear warhead on it.
This nuclear weapon is called an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb
Nuclear weapon detonations
If by "bomb" you mean a conventional explosive weapon, then the nuclear weapon is more powerful.
The four Department of Defense (DOD) nuclear weapon safety standards focus on preventing nuclear detonation, unauthorized launch, and accidental nuclear detonation. These standards require that nuclear weapons must always be safe from accidents, must be secure from unauthorized access, must ensure that no nuclear detonation occurs without proper authorization, and must maintain reliable performance under all conditions. These principles are fundamental to ensuring the safe handling, storage, and deployment of nuclear weapons.
The Personnel Reliability Program (PRP) is a program designed to ensure the highest possible standards of individual reliability in personnel performing duties associated with nuclear weapons systems and critical components. It is intended to prevent the unauthorized launch of a missile or aircraft armed with a nuclear weapon, or the unauthorized detonation of a nuclear weapon. Personnel in the PRP must be certified

The ICBM [Intercontinental Ballistic Missile] is the most powerful weapon in the world. It carries 2-3 nuclear warheads and it is so powerful, that it has never been used in a full test launch. They can also be fired 3500 miles away.
