>Nuclear bombs don't have a monopoly on large explosions
I get what you mean in relation to the Hiroshima bomb, but they do have a monopoly at some value of "large". All of the bombs exploded in WWII added up to about a 3 megaton TNT equivalent. There have been single thermonuclear weapons with roughly 10x that amount or more.
