The first nuclear reactor was made in 1942 as part of the Manhattan Project, but did not produce electricity. The first power producing reactors were built in the 1950's in the US, UK, and France.

The invention of both the nuclear power plant and bomb was in 1933 by Leo Szilard. They are both covered in claims in his 1934 british patent.

The first prototype nuclear power plant (Experimental Breeder Reactor - 1 in ID) did not begin power operation until August 24, 1951.

The first nuclear power plant to power a town (BORAX powered Arco, ID for one hour) was on July 17, 1955.
