Is nuclear fusion considered to be safer than nuclear fission for energy production?

Wasn’t the H-bomb (fusion) supposed to be way more powerful and unpredictable than the A-bomb (fission)? Kinda confused here and I’m certainly mixing bombs with energy production. But if you could give me the essential I’d appreciate it. Thank you.

Fusion’s failure state is simply to stop working. Fission’s failure state is potentially a cataclysm.
