Such is quite impossible.

The damage covered an area of about 800 sq mi and the estimated energy
released was 3 to 30 megatons, which would require a thermonuclear
explosion and rules out a fission explosion.

Ground analysis of the site from shortly after the event and as recently
as 2013 all gives results consistant with a meteor air burst, i.e.
siicate and magnetite spheres and high proportions of nickel relative to
iron.

It is quite impossible to get a fission explosion by simply piling up
uranium. The worst that could possibly happen is that a meltdown would
occur, which would NOT result in a fission explosion. Such would be
similar to the Chernobyl meltdown but would be much less severe as the
Chernobyl event had a steam explosion from the cooling water.
