Nuclear energy was first demonstrated by the Chicago Pile 1 in 1942, under Fermi, but this experiment did not produce any useful power. Power producing reactors were built in the US and UK in the mid '50s, and other countries have followed. Since then the principles of using heat generated by fission of U235 (mainly) to drive the normal type of steam turbines and produce electricity have stayed the same. Development has been largely to make plants more efficient and improve safety.

How is nuclear energy gather or created?
Nuclear energy is not gathered or created. There is a saying to go along with this: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form. That saying is called the Law of the Conservation of Energy. Nuclear is a type of potential energy so this concept applies to it. There are many ways nuclear energy can be used. Lets say submarines. Most people have heard of the nuclear powered submarines. They can stay under water for a long time because they have basically unlimited energy. The submarines are powered by a nuclear reactor causing a series of nuclear reactions. The submarine uses the nuclear reactions as power. Generally it will get converted to mechanical or electrical energy (both types of Kinetic energy).
