Experiments in the early 20th century could not be explained by classical physics (developed by Galileo, Newton, etc.). Classical physics worked fine on a larger scale. However, on an extremly small scale it was flawed. Scientist started looking at things on an atomic level. This was the beginning of Quantum mechanics. This science was greatly advanced during WWII, when the military use was realized. Hope this helps some

Who developed the first nuclear submarine?

The first operational nuclear submarine, the USS Nautilus(SSN-571), was developed by the United States. The idea of a submarine dates far back in history, but the technology required to actually build an operational undersea boat is relatively new. Applying nuclear power to this concept is newer still, and it had to wait until nuclear power could be harnessed in the form of a safe and reliable nuclear reactor. A link can be found below for more information.

Is South Korea developing nuclear technology?

29 March 2010Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (Kaeri) and Korean steelmaker Posco have signed an agreement to jointly study technologies for advanced nuclear reactor systems. Meanwhile, Korean researchers have developed software to ensure optimal operation of power reactors. (source: WNN>world nuclear news.)It seems that South Korea has been developing nuclear technology aiming nuclear reactors. The fragment of an article above is dated 2010, but many years ago South Korea started its nuclear reactors program and it seems that they have high technology on this field.
