They were going to make the Tsar bomba 100 MT but the scientists chickened out after realising it may be a little over the top.

They were afraid of the nuclear fall out but even though they halved the yield they still nearly wiped out a village.
The bomb was dropped from an altitude of 10.5 kilometres (6.5 mi); it was designed to detonate at a height of 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) over the land surface (4.2 kilometres (2.6 mi) over sea level) by barometric sensors.
The fireball touched the ground, reached nearly as high as the altitude of the release plane, and was seen and felt almost 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) from ground zero.
If it had been dropped on paris this is the radius of destruction you should expect.
Now that is a fucking nuke.![]()
