In the United States, Westinghouse developed the first commercial nuclear power plant. Yankee Rowe started in 1960 and was in operation until 1992.
32 countries in the world are using nuclear electric power.
when they were invented
The nuclear reactor wasn't invented in India. Nuclear power was being researched in England, Germany, Austria, Russia and the USA during the 1930s and 1940s. Idaho was the location of the first electricity generation using a nuclear reactor in 1951 with Russia operating the first to supply electricity to a grid. India's entry to nuclear power generation followed many years after the intial development work has been completed.
building power plants using sources of renewable energy such as wind or solar power
Using water as a source of power has been practiced for a very long time. The original applications for water as a power source was in mills. In the 1889s people began to experiment with existing concepts to power lights using water instead of coal.
1957 (Shippingport PWR)
Some people do not agree with Japan building and using nuclear power plants because twenty percent of the worlds earthquakes occur in Japan which causes dangers for the people living in Japan.

The USA started using nuclear energy in 1951
Nuclear power plants
Using nuclear fission, generators are turned.
France is the country that is committed to using nuclear power to generate electricity and has the majority of its electricity needs provided by nuclear power. Nuclear power accounts for around 70% of the electricity generated in France.
People first started using solar power around 700 B.C. with people burning ants with magnifying glasses.
Nuclear power stations are very expensive to set up, compared with fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power stations.There is a problem disposing of nuclear waste and people are afraid of accidents.

One advantage of using nuclear power over fossil fuels is that nuclear power does not produce greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to mitigate climate change.
