Yep. Roughly same source, but a very different "pathway" of energy. Nuclear bombs depend on prompt neutrons, whereas nuclear power depends on delayed neutrons. Hence why the enrichment of the Uranium is important.

And those who bring up the Chernobyl explosion, those were due to Hydrogen gas build up. Which is an interesting case study of Murphy's law.

The Chernobyl explosion was a steam explosion caused by superheated cooling water.

You may be thinking of Fukushima which was mainly due to the build up of hydrogen gas.
