Difficult to pin down. If we are talking bombs, these were developed in WW2 in the Manhattan project. This took place in the US-this was probably inevitable as the facilities could be built there out of range of enemy attacks, which could have been a problem in the UK, which would have been the only alternative. Most of the scientists and engineers were US citizens, but there were others, notably British, and for example Enrico Fermi who was still Italian up to 1944. I believe Einstein also played a part by writing to President Roosevelt urging this project, even before the US entered the war. Einstein was worried the German Nazis would get the bomb, he knew they were working on it. Was Einstein then a US citizen? I'm not sure. Luckily the German project was disrupted by the war and they never got there.
In terms of energy used for power production, the first reactors to do this were at Calder Hall in the UK, in 1956. These were magnox reactors. Meanwhile the US had developed the PWR on a small scale for nuclear submarines, they were first with that. I'm not sure when the first PWR was used for power production, but guess it was about 1958. Can anyone fill this in?
After World War II Canada decided to focus on peaceful applications of nuclear energy as opposed to the military aspects that the U.S. specialized in, primarily because Canada was the principal source of uranium used to fuel nuclear weapons as well as electrical power plants. This national effort resulted in innovative designs for nuclear power plants that became standard internationally as Canada exported these important additional sources of electrical power to countries that needed to increase electrical energy production to fuel industrial and modern residential development.
.
Thus Canadian designed and built nuclear reactors circle the globe today as many countries utilize this source of energy.
What else can I help you with?
Which country is maximum dependent on nuclear power.?
France with about 80% of their electricity generated by nuclear.
What country uses the most nuclear power?
AnswerFrance. About 75% of its power comes from nuclear energy.
Which European country relies the most on nuclear power for energy?
France relies the most on nuclear power for energy in Europe, with approximately 70% of its electricity generated from nuclear plants.
What type of energy does a nuclear power plant produce?
A nuclear power plant produces electricity by harnessing the energy released from nuclear fission reactions in the reactor core. This process generates heat, which is used to produce steam that drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity.
What is the leading country in nuclear power?
I would say the USA as it has more operating power reactors than any other country, but France is also well up there with a greater proportion of electrical power being nuclear, it is though a much smaller country and industrial economy
Which country produces the most commercial nuclear power?
The USA

In 2002 which country relied most on nuclear power for its energy?
france
Which European country has the most nuclear power except the US?
France

What country in Europe produces the most hydroelectric power?
Norway is the European country that produces the most hydroelectric power. Its abundant rivers and water resources make it an ideal location for harnessing hydroelectric energy.
Which country has the most operational Nuclear Power Reactors in the world?
France (having 58 nuclear power reactors and one under construction) with around 80% of its electricity is produced by nuclear power.
What country leads the world in safely developing and using nuclear power?
The U.S. is the most advanced country in regards to nuclear power in warfare, although it takes all actions against using it.
Why does Europe and other countries like japan have more nuclear power plants campared to other types of power?
France produces about 80% of its electricity by nuclear plants, but this is an exception in Europe, most countries with nuclear plants have about 20%, as in the USA. Not sure about Japan, but nuclear appeals there I think because they have little fossil fuels in the country. See www.world-nuclear.org for a more detailed survey.
Which country relied most on nuclear power in 2002?
France (about 75 percent of electricity)
