The first use of nuclear fission, aside from research, was the atom bomb drop on Hiroshima, on August 6, 1945. The first use of nuclear fission for power on an electric grid was when the Obrinsk Nuclear Power Plant in the USSR went on-line on June 27, 1954.

What are the advantages of using nuclear fission for generating electriciy?
it is funny hello my name is ................... sjgvgbvdhvbdh
Is hydrogen ever created in nature by nuclear fission?
Yes In high temperature gas cooled nuclear fission reactors using the nuclear process heat.
The two processes which produce nuclear changes are?
Fission & Fusion. I JUST now got an answer right by using this. Good Luck! :D Hope this was helpful.
What is the major unsolved problem in using nuclear fission?
How to store the fission products contained in the used fuel.
What is nuclear fission energy?
Nuclear Fission Energy is energy that is produced using fissionable elements. The most common is Uranium. Fission energy involves the fission heating water and turning a turbine, much like coal.
How does nuclear power plants produce electricity?
Using nuclear fission, generators are turned.
What are the negatives about using Nuclear Energy?
This is not correct. Assuming "Using Nuclear Energy" means using it to generate electricity in a reactor. A nuclear reactor is a power plant, that uses nuclear fission to eventually generate electricity. An atom bomb also uses nuclear fission to generate energy causing an explosion. However, due to fundamental differences between the two a nuclear reactor cannot explode like an atom bomb.
Who is using Nuclear Fission?
Many nuclear power stations in different countries-mainly the US, UK, France, Canada, Russia, and others.
How is electricity produced at a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear power is the use of sustained Nuclear fission to generate heat and do useful work. Heat from nuclear fission boils water to make steam, which pushes a turbine. The turbine generates electricity using a magnet through a process called electromagnetic induction.
How can nuclear fission be slowed?
Yes, by introducing a neutron absorber such as boron. In a nuclear reactor this is done by inserting the control rods
How is electricity produced using nuclear reactors?
water is heated up by nuclear fission and turned into steam, that steam then turns massive turbines which generate electricity.
What is nuclear bombing?
It Is a device used to destroy cities and their occupants. A single device has the power of several planeloads of conventional bombs.
