To the best of my knowlege, the largest nuke ever tested was 50 megatons, but that was by the Russians. I don't know what our largest one is, but the future of nuclear weapons calls for smaller, tactical nukes.

The biggest we ever built had a 25 mega ton yield but I think the biggest we still have is about 1 mega ton.

Variable yield warheads my guess can be dialed up to almost as powerful as Russias new non nuclear (thermobaric) bomb.

No one really knows. It's classified information.
