Yes.

Project Orion from the mid 1950s until 1963 worked on using nuclear explosives to propel a payload from earth's surface to orbit. By cancelation in 1963 (due to Atmospheric Test Ban Treaty) the project had completed its studies and was ready to begin construction of a prototype. This is a direct example of the possibility of using nuclear explosives for their energy not their destructiveness.
