Nag me to get heavyweight (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

megaton

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'heavyweight' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'nag me to' is the wordplay.
'nag me to' can be anagrammed to 'MEGATON'.
Though, I am not clear how this is indicated.

'get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for megaton that I've seen before include "Powerful explosive unit" , "Explosive power equivalent to one million tons of TNT" , "Measure of explosive power - montage (anag)" , "weight" , "it weighs a lot" .)
