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.

When and where was last nuclear reactor built?
The last nuclear reactor has not been built yet.
When and where did the first nuclear reactor generate electricity?
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.
What was the first nuclear facility to generate electricity in the US?
The SM-1 nuclear reactor in Fort Belvior in virginia.
Was the knowledge from atom bomb used to make a nuclear reactor?
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.
When was the first nuclear reactor tested?
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.
When and where was last nuclear reactor built?
The last nuclear reactor has not been built yet.
Where was the first South African nuclear reactor built?
Koeburg
In 1950 where was the first nuclear reactor?
The first nuclear reactor was in former Soviet Union that operated in year 1954 at obninisk.
What were some of the uses for the first nuclear reactor?
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.
Who was the inventor of first nuclear plant?
Leo Szilard invented the nuclear reactor in 1933, but did not build it.Enrico Fermi built first nuclear reactor, CP-1 in 1942.Walter Zinn built the first nuclear power plant, EBR-1 in 1951.
Who built the first nuclear fission reactor?
Enrico Fermi at the U of Chicago squash court
Who first invented nuclear reactors?
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.
Who built the first nuclear reactor in the 1940's?
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.
What is the name of the first Indian nuclear reactor?
The first Indian nuclear reactor's name is APSARA.
What year did the first nuclear reactor come online?
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.
Where was India's first nuclear reactor situated?
India's first nuclear reactor is situated in the ''Rajasthan, porbandar.''
How did nuclear reactor change the world in 1942?
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
