There are major and there are minor explosions. It took quite a bit of testing to get our weapons to go major explosions. Not all explosions are the same.

Think of it this way: there are firecrackers and there is dynamite.

The material in the hole is what is used in weapons, and maybe material that was too unstable to be put into a weapon. A small amount could have gone critical, but was not compressed like is done in weapons, therefore the explosion was not as energetic as a manufactured bomb. But sure, nuclear at its core, sure.
