Electricity was generated for the first time by a nuclear reactor on December 20, 1951, at the EBR-I experimental station near Arco, Idaho, which initially produced about 100 kW.
It is not reliable because it generate a lot of heat and consumes high voltage of electricity. It is hand-wired which at anytime break
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.
The first nuclear powered submarine was the USS Nautilus.
India's first nuclear test on May 18, 1974, described by the Indian government as a "peaceful nuclear explosion." The first Nuclear Test in India was cnducted on 18 May , 1974 at Pokhran.

It was first used in Obninsk in former Soviet Union.The world's first nuclear power plant was commissioned on June 27, 1954 in Obninsk.The Obninsk nuclear power plant featured one 5 mWt AM-1 (Atom Mirny or Peaceful Atom) reactor to generate electricity and facilitate experimental nuclear research.
Nuclear energy is first changed to heat in a nuclear power plant using a process called nuclear fission. The heat generated is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
The first nuclear reactor used for peaceful purposes was that in Russia (June 1954) and is called Oninsk nuclear power plant. It is the first in the world to generate electricity for an electric power grid system. It produced around 5 megawatts of electric power.
The first use of nuclear energy before electricity was in the form of nuclear weapons, such as the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II in 1945.
For electricity production, 1956
Ricardo Husada was born in Russia. He is the one that created the first nuclear power plant with the help of his team. Also, the nuclear power plant was in 1942, but was improved in 1954. The improved nuclear power plant was used to generate electricity.
your question makes no sense, to USE electricity? GENERATE electricity? I think to use.
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.
Hydro-electricity comes from river water turning turbines, but it is just the same as any other electricity. It is fed into the electricity grid and sent into homes and factories to boil water, cook chickens and produce hybrid cars.
