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.
Where was the second atomic bomb ever used in wartime dropped?
On August 9, 1945, the "Fat Man" nuclear bomb was detonated over Nagasaki.
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.

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.
