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.

When was the atomic bomb first ever used?
August 1945
What was the most powerful weapon ever built?
Atom Bomb
Which is stronger Nuclear Bomb or Hydrogen Bomb?
Nuclear bombs is all types of bombs that use nuclear energy. It is not a type of bomb,just a category of bombs. hydrogen bomb is the strongest bomb ever, and its blast yield can go up to 100megatons of TNT.
Did russia ever used its atomic bomb?
In combat no, only the US has.
What is the most sophisticated weapon of world war 2 before the atom bomb?
The atomic bomb. the strongest bomb in the world is the nitrom bomb! Not sure what the first poster meant by "nitrom bomb". If they meant NEUTRON bomb, then they would be correct only in that the neutron bomb was designed to maximize casualties through radiation instead of the heat and blast of other bombs. The explosive "yield" of most neutron bomb designs is in the kiloton range. The most powerful atomic device ever detonated was the Tsar Bomba device detonated by the USSR on October 30, 1961. The original design would have created a 100 megaton explosion, but it was reduced for testing to a 50 megaton device. The test device is believed to be the only one of its type ever built. The "strongest" weapon of world war 2 was indeed the atomic bomb - although their combined explosive yield was still only about 1/1000 of that of the Tsar Bomba device. Even so, the atomic bombs were themselves about a thousand times as powerful as any of the conventional bombs used during the 2nd world war.
Would a nuclear reactor explode if there were no people?
No, a nuclear reactor would not explode solely due to the absence of people. Reactor safety systems are designed to shut down automatically in case of any abnormal conditions, such as the reactor overheating or losing cooling. The presence or absence of people would not impact the reactor's physical safety mechanisms.
Do police dogs ever get effected by the drugs or bombs they find?
Yes if the bomb explode near them or if they inhale some of the drugs
Did a nuclear plant ever exploded in the US?
Yes, the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania experienced a partial core meltdown in 1979, which resulted in the most serious accident in the history of the US commercial nuclear power generating industry. However, the reactor did not explode like a nuclear bomb.
Will jupiter ever explode?
No. Planets cannot explode.
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.
Will the world ever explode?
No it will not

What is the Most powerful wepon ever?
The most powerful bomb ever made was the tsar bomb.
How much more powerful can a NUCLEAR EXPLOSION THAN THE LARGEST CONVENTIONAL WEAPON?
A nuclear explosion can be millions of times more powerful than the largest conventional weapon. For instance, the largest conventional bomb, the GBU-43/B MOAB, has a yield of about 11 tons of TNT, while the most powerful nuclear bomb ever tested, the Tsar Bomba, had a yield of approximately 50 megatons of TNT. This means a nuclear explosion can surpass conventional weapons in destructive capability by a factor of thousands to millions, depending on the specific devices being compared.
Will there ever be a nuclear reactor in a plane instead of oil?
Never a nuclear reactor is used in airplanes. However, it is used in submarines.
