The first controlled nuclear reaction took place in 1942 at the University of Chicago. The first nuclear meltdown occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986, which is 44 years later.
Physicists Enrico Fermi and his team at the University of Chicago were the first to produce and describe an artificial nuclear reaction in 1942. They created the first controlled nuclear chain reaction as part of the Manhattan Project.
1942
The first controlled nuclear reaction took place in 1942, and the first nuclear meltdown in US history occurred in 1979, marking a span of 37 years between these two events.
The first controlled nuclear reaction occurred in 1942, while the first nuclear meltdown happened in 1952, so 10 years passed between the two events.

In this solar system, it is on the sun.
The first to create the first nuclear chain reaction was Enrico Fermi. Refer to link below for details.
Nuclear explosions are not controlled. Nuclear reactors are controlled.The first controlled nuclear reaction in the US was on December 2, 1942.The first nuclear explosion in the US was on July 16, 1945.
It created the first controlled nuclear reaction, as well as nuclear weapons.
