I think the quote I heard was that if they accumulated all the antimatter that had ever been produced at CERN (EVER!) in one place and used it for energy, they could light a normal light bulb for a few minutes...
I don't think the LHC is setup to capture any antimatter generated, but even if it was it would take billions of years to capture even one gram of antimatter. And that wouldn't be that impressive explosion wise, I think you need in the range of a kilogram to make a bomb with megaton yeilds.
