The first demonstration nuclear reactor was built in USA by Enrico Fermi in Chicago Stadium. Fermi was an Italian Physicist, best known for his work on Chicago Pile-1 (the first nuclear reactor).
on 26 June 1954, in the town of Obninsk, near Moscow in the former USSR, the first nuclear power plant was connected to an electricity grid to provide power to residences and businesses. Nuclear energy had crossed the divide from military uses to civilian applications.
The first nuclear reactor CP-1 was built in 1942 in Chicago.
The first nuclear reactor was built in 1942.
The last nuclear reactor has not been built yet.
Electricity was generated for the first time by a nuclear reactor on December 20, 1951, at the EBR-I experimental station near Arco, Idaho, which initially produced about 100 kW.

No, Enrico Fermi constructed and operated the first nuclear reactor (CP-1) in 1942. Several larger nuclear reactors were needed first to make the plutonium for the MK-3 Fatman atomic bomb, which was not tested until 1945. Their principles of operation are quite different, except that both operate by nuclear chain reaction.
The first nuclear reactor (CP-1) was first tested on December 2, 1942, less than a year after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Its maximum design operating power was half a watt (thermal) so it needed no cooling system nor radiation shielding.
The last nuclear reactor has not been built yet.

The first nuclear reactor was in former Soviet Union that operated in year 1954 at obninisk.
The very first nuclear reactor was Chicago Pile 1. It was built for research and scientific use. The first nuclear reactor outside of a university was built (at Hanford, Washington) primarily to yield plutonium for the atomic bomb destined for Nagasaki, Japan. Nuclear reactors were built primarily for electrical generation beginning in about 1951.

The nuclear reactor was invented in 1933 by Leo Szilard, in London, but he did not try to build one. The first functioning nuclear reactor, CP-1, was designed and built in 1942 by Enrico Fermi, in Chicago, IL.
Dr. Klein was head of the team that designed Canada's first nuclear reactor during the 1940's. The reactor contributed to military inventions that were key in siding the Allies during the 2nd World War.
The first Indian nuclear reactor's name is APSARA.
The first nuclear reactor, CP-1, was built and operated in 1942. It generated no electricity, its peak thermal power was one half watt. The first nuclear power plant was connected to the grid sometime in the 1950s.
India's first nuclear reactor is situated in the ''Rajasthan, porbandar.''
The first reactor in 1942 showed that it would work, and larger ones were built at Hanford Wa to produce plutonium for the A-bomb
