As far as I know the US has nothing larger than a 100kt warhead...and I'm pretty darn sure the 50MT Titan was retired years ago.

We MIGHT have a few 1 MT device stashed somewhere, but I doubt it.

I don't think even the Russians have anything bigger than 10MT anymore, though they once had warheads as big as 100MT.

They do not have bombs that big in any inventory.
