How did the explosion at Chernobyl compare to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

The bombs dropped in Japan were designed to produce a large nuclear explosion which produced heat and blast waves. At Chernobyl an operating reactor lifted its top off due to a surge in pressure, and this flung out radioactive debris, not as a result of a nuclear explosion but due to mechanical forces. There was approx. 400 times the amount of radiation released from Chernobyl than there was from the two bombs dropped on Japan.
