Is it possible to power a rocket using nuclear power?

Yes it is and NASA have various designs and projects to study the practicalities of such engines. Nuclear power may be used to heat a propellant, provide an electrical power source for an ion engine, or may be used directly to provide thrust in a number of ways, one example being the fission-fragment rocket.

Are nuclear reactors and nuclear power plants the same?

Not really. It depends on what you are trying to do. A nuclear power plant is a power plant that uses a nuclear reactor as its source of energy. A nuclear reactor, on the other hand, is a more generalized term for a device that uses nuclear energy (specifically the release of binding energy from the Strong Atomic Force) to do something. In the general case, we use the reactor to generate energy for the power plant to use in generating electricity. Sometimes, we use the reactor for other, research type things, such as generating a neutron flux to study the physics of nuclide activation.
