Actually a 'neutron bomb' hardly leaves all the buildings standing.

This is a big exaggeration, and you'd find it pretty quick once you dropped it on somebody and found a blast as big as Hiroshima (no joke).

Neutron bombs aren't exactly enhanced-radiation weapons, they are "low-blast" big thermonuclear weapons.

The extra fission on the thermonuclear secondary (which in modern bombs is what really causes the huge energy output and massive fallout, bringing up yield from 10-20k to a few hundreds) is mostly eliminated, so that most of the neutrons from the fusion escape to fry people from the inside, instead of heat frying them from the outside.

But they still need a fission primary (and one with lots of tritium in fact) and all on its own this has a blast that is plenty big by human terms even if it is smaller than the mongo h-bombs.
