>>12816800couldn't you just make a delivery system for a really big conventional (non-nuclear) weapon?
this article implies that blast radius is the same between MOAB and Little Boy.
MOAB might not flatten as many buildings but it will likely damage them beyond repair and kill everyone inside, so it's similarly destructive without the fallout

In comparison, “Little Boy,” the uranium atomic bomb that the U.S. military dropped on Hiroshima in August 1945, had the explosive power of about 16 kilotons — or 16,000 tons>Curiously, however, the blast radius — that’s the distance from the point where the bomb is dropped — is comparable. MOAB’s blast radius is estimated to be about 1 mile, which is the same as the radius measured for the bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
