The major nuclear powers continue to abide by the world moratorium on nuclear testing, and even India and Pakistan appear to have joined the moratorium after their May 1998 nuclear tests.
Since the natural energy scale for a fission nuclear weapon is of order 10 KT, much lower yield weapons must be sensitive to exacting design tolerances; the final yield is determined by an exponentially growing number of fission-produced neutrons, so the total number of neutron generations must be finely-tuned.
The danger of moving from a conventional to a nuclear war is so enormous, that the US refrained from using nuclear weapons in Korea even when US troops were in danger of being overwhelmed.

 B61 nuclear bomb information - Search.com
The B61 nuclear bomb is the primary thermonuclear weapon in the U.S. Enduring Stockpile following the end of the Cold War.
The newest variant is the B61 Mod 11, a hardened penetration bomb with a reinforced casing (according to some sources, containing depleted uranium) and a delayed-action fuse, allowing it to penetrate several metres into the ground before detonating, damaging fortified structures further underground [2].
Most versions of the B61 are equipped with a parachute retarder (currently a 24-ft (7.32 m) diameter nylon/Kevlar chute) to slow the weapon in its descent, giving the aircraft a chance to escape the blast (or to allow the weapon to survive impact with the ground in laydown mode).

 the nuclear information project: Divine Strake 2006
This is about double the lowest yield option on the non-strategic B61 nuclear gravity bomb, and suggests that Divine Strake may be intended to fine-tune use of the B61 bomb.
There are three modifications of the non-strategic B61 bomb in the U.S. stockpile with yields ranging from 0.3 kt to 170 kt.
The B61 also exists in a strategic version (B61-7) with four yields up to 350 kt, but given the strategic mission of this weapon the lowest yield option may be higher than the non-strategic version.

 United States Arsenal
According to the Nuclear Posture Review, the first four of these boats are slated for removal from the nuclear role (either through retirement or removal of missile tubes and reorientation to other missions).
These are the tactical variants of the B61 bomb, see the description of the Mod-7 strategic B61 for further details.
Three variants of the tactical B61 exist, the Mod-3, Mod-4, and Mod-10, the last of which is a converted W85 Pershing II warhead.
