According to the Fox News story, portable nuclear
bombs can range from suitcase- (or backpack) size to
"the size of two footlockers". Backpack bombs (not
one-coffee-can bombs) have a 3-5 kiloton yield. Bombs
allegedly missing from Russia (which the Russians
allegedly made during the Cold War) which may be the
ones Al Qaeda is alleged to have obtained, have a 1
kiloton yield.
