This was built as part of the Manhattan Project in WW2, to demonstrate the principle of the chain reaction. The results were used to design the Hanford piles to produce plutonium. The chief scientist for the Chicago pile was Enrico Fermi, first criticality in 1942

Inventions of Enrico Fermi?
He created the first atomic bomb and nuclear reactor.
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
When did the first controlled nuclear reaction occur?
The nuclear fusion was first experimentally achieved in 1934 ( by Enrico Fermi).
The first sustained nuclear reaction occurred at what university?
The first working nuclear reactor was built at the University of Chicago. This was the Chicago Pile-1 (CP-1), and you can find a link below that will bathe you in information.
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.
When was the first nuclear reactor built?
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.
Inventor of atomic reactor?
The first inventor of a nuclear reactor was Enrico Fermi. Refer to link below.
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.
Inventions of Enrico Fermi?

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.
