In the bomb, no.

However the US first "calutron" mass spectrometer uranium enrichment machines in WW2 were built with silver (borrowed from the treasury) magnet windings, because copper was not available in the war because it was being used in making bullets and ammo casings. This silver was returned after the war.

Yes, silver is used in some nuclear weapons as a constituent of the high-explosive components. It helps enhance the performance of the explosive material by increasing its detonation velocity.
