All atomic bombs use regular explosives to propel two chunks
of high enriched fissile material towards each other at high
speed so that they collide.

Without that high speed/force collision, there is no explosion.

In the reactor you have neither the high enriched material, nor
do you have the high speed/force collision of that material.

This is common knowledge widley available on the web for more than
a decade.
