The smallest nuke available (W80) is about 300lbs and 31.4 by 11.8 inches. It’s more like a footlocker than a suitcase.

And what is the nominal yield of such a device? How many KT or fractions thereof?

The W80 has a user defined variable yield of 5-150 KT. It is the operational warhead of air-launched and sub-launched cruise missiles.
