According to the US Dept of Energy, the last reactor built was the "River Bend" plant in Louisiana. Its construction began in March of 1977. The last plant to begin commercial operation is the "Watts Bar" plant in Tennessee, which came online in 1996.
Note: The list I obtained only listed operational reactors.

How has society influenced the development of genetic engineering over the last 20 years?
Nuclear power plants provide cheap electricity to power people's homes.
Is nuclear energy a solution to energy crisis?
No. Nuclear energy produces dangerous wastes (that might be around for thousand of years) that no one knows how to get rid of. The same material that can be used to power nuclear plants, might be altered to make a weapon. If a person makes a mistake with a nuclear power plant, it might contaminate a large area for very long time.All nuclear power really does is to boil water and make steam. There are far better ways to boil water and make steam. Wind, solar, hydroelectric power are three better solutions to providing electricity.Nuclear power does have its merits in the field of power generation. However, due to the negative side-effects mentioned above, other sources of electricity are likely to be more favourable in providing the world with power.The parts of nuclear waste that last thousands of years can be handled by reprocessing the waste to extract them and reuse them as fuel. The other parts last no longer than a couple hundred years.Power reactor material is very hard to use in weapons, Uranium is usually not enriched enough, and Plutonium produced in a power reactor usually has too high a Plutonium-241 content to avoid a "fizzle".
When was the last incinerator built?
The last as in final incinerator was never built, incinerators are still being built all the time.

That's about it.

What is the name of the nuclear power plant built in 1979?
The last plant built in the US began construction in 1977. That's the "River Bend" plant in Lousiana.
Does nuclear power last forever?
Nuclear power does not last forever. A nuclear power plant in a large ship last approx. 25 years.
When was the last nuclear power plant built in Georgia?
The last nuclear power plant built in Georgia, USA, was the Alvin W. Vogtle facility in Burke county, Georgia. It is a two unit Westinghouse PWR, completed in 1987 (Unit I) and 1989 (Unit II), rated 1215 MWe each. There are no nuclear power plants in Georgia, the country.
When and where was last nuclear reactor built?
The last nuclear reactor has not been built yet.
When was the last accident at a nuclear power plant?
Fukushima Daiichi, on March 11, 2011.
How many new nuclear plants in US in past 20 years?
No new nuclear plants have been built in the US in the past 20 years. The Watts Bar plant was licenced in 1996, but had been built much earlier. The last plant actually built was the River Bend plant in Louisiana, which was licenced in 1986.
When was the last nuclear power-plant failure?
As far as I know the last failure requiring a write off of the reactor was at Chernobyl in 1986.
What waste problems of nuclear power plants is NOT a problem with a coal-burning power plant?
Radioactive wastes that can last thousands of years
Is the life span of a nuclear power station?
a neuclear power plant will last about 50 to 75 years depending on the people that work there and if there is a radioactive leak.
How is nuclear energy a solution to the energy crisis?
Nuclear power isn't a solution it is just another method of producing energy, the reason it is not a solution is because it has a big disadvantage which is the disposal of nuclear waste. On the other hand more countries are building nuclear power plants because of the amount of energy that you get out of a nuclear power plant and the length of time the fuel will last in a nuclear reactor.
Sentences with the word nuclear?
Nuclear power is one of the ways we can cut back on our reliance on fossil fuels.We have built a nuclear bomb and are not afraid to use it.In the modern era, the ideal family unit is what sociologists call the "Nuclear Family".I seem to have misplaced the nuclear launch codes at the bar last night.
