I believe the original hiroshima nuke was a one ton bomb. Of course a mega ton is 1000 times the size and we are talking 10 and 20 mega ton bombs. US has some 50 mega ton bombs.
Even on a comparatively small scale nuclear exchange, this is a no win scenario.

The nukes the U.S. used in the 2nd World War were a few thousand Kilotons. The bombs that North Korea has tested were smaller than that. Most of our nukes are 1 Megaton bombs but we have missils with multiple rentry war heads usually with five 1 Megaton bombs. We have tested much larger bombs and do have larger bombs in our arsenal but they would only be used in a "dooms day" type scenario.
North Korea is only a match for South Korea...end of story.
