No, for two main reasons: a bomb requires highly enriched U-235 (near 100 percent) or near pure Pu-239, and reactor fuel is a much weaker material, only 4 to 5 percent, the rest non-fissile U-238; and secondly a bomb requires the fissile material to be concentrated into as small a space as possible, whereas in a reactor it is spaced out in a lattice with moderator in the spaces.

How does a nuclear reactor explode?
The only one that has ever exploded to my knowledge was at Chernobyl in 1986, and this was due to a steam pressure surge during an experimental procedure that was badly planned and carried out. This type of reactor was unique to the Soviet bloc countries and is no longer built, though I think some may still be in operation.
