The world's first nuclear power plant was Obinsk, in the former USSR, in 1954, rated 6 MWe. It was a "semi-experimental" facility.
The next plant was Calder Hall, in the UK, in 1956, rated 4 x 60 MWe, but it was primarily used to generate Plutonium for military purposes.
The world's first full scale nuclear power plant was at Shippingport, Pennsylvania, US, in 1957, rated 60 MWe.
