I will happily accept the possibility of another kind of bomb sometime
in the 
future. Perhaps sustaining and collapsing an artificial black hole of 
significant mass, or a matter/ antimatter/ containment mixture or
anything 
else you might come up with, but the earlier specification was for a
nuclear 
bomb man-deliverable weighing less than the necessary mass for creating
a 
critical mass and the package for fusing, and delivering it. To set off
a 
nuke takes a less than inconsiderabnle mass of explosives and intensely 
sophisticated  electronic triggers for the conventional explosive.
Usually a 
diffuse ball of nuclear material is made and then surrounded by
explosives 
that will detonate a spherical trigger which implodes (slams toegether
into a 
much more dense mass which results in the uncontrolled reaction. All
that 
takes weight (mass).
