No, but the reactor at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania had a near melt-down. Nuclear plants don't explore. They have meltdowns.
Do you mean Jervis Bay in Australia? There was a proposal to build a plant there about 30 years ago but it never was even started. Australia has no nuclear power plants.
In the US there are many states that have no nuclear plants, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and so on. (I am talking about nuclear power plants, not research facilities). See the NRC website www.nrc.gov for maps and details.
The atoll used by the US for nuclear weapons testing is called Bikini Atoll, located in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The infamous Castle Bravo test, the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated by the US, took place there in 1954.
The best source I know of is the NRC website which gives a map. See link below
No, the largest ever built were 25 megaton warheads for the Titan II. But these were never installed on missiles, instead 9 megaton warheads were used. All Titan ICBMs are long retired and there were only 50 built total. Currently the largest yield US bombs are roughly 600 kilotons.
The US has 104 operating reactors and none of them have exploded. It's a matter of good design and operating methods. Nuclear explosions though are not possible in a commercial nuclear reactor, because the nuclear fuel is not sufficiently enriched to make a weapon, whatever happens in the reactor.
When the Soviet Union exploded an atomic bomb, the US response was to increase its own arsenal and its own testing of nuclear weapons.
every country that has done underground nuclear testing at some point exploded their first underground nuclear device. if you want the first country, that was the US. if you want the most recent, that was North Korea. but this could change any day.
Illinois is were nuclear power is most used
The Shippingport reactor was the first full-scale PWR nuclear power plant in the United States.
no where
no where
The first commercial nuclear power plant in the US was built in 1957 in Shippingport, Pennsylvania. The first commercial nuclear power plant in the world was built in 1956 in Calder Hill, UK.
It is legal to build a nuclear power plant in the U. S., provided the licenses and permits are granted.
It is the facility built to produce nuclear material for the US Atomic weapons program.
Have a look at the map of nuclear sites on the NRC website www.nrc.gov
the answer is no because the US has not gotten hit by a nuclear device
