Pretty much, but the largest factor was simply the sheer difference in scale between the A-bombs and the reactors at Chernobyl. With the A-bombs there was simply simply less fission fragments and other radioactive products to worry about due to there being far less nuclear fuel and surrounding material that could be irradiated and itself made radioactive.
