Not at all. There's a number of Soviet warheads of lesser yields, and there's nothing to say the total delivered was exactly 1.0MT - could have been slightly more, or slightly less.

It's even possible the area was nuked on more than one occasion, perhaps several different warheads over a period of several days as damage assessments became available.

Exact details though don't matter as previously mentioned.
