The Fat Man nukes from Fallout were miniature tactical nukes and were in no way more powerful than an actual nuclear bomb like Little Boy.

I think you might be confused as to the reference- Fat Man was the nuke dropped on Nagasaki, and was larger than Little Boy, which was dropped on Hiroshima.

which makes these two not-actually-fiction.
