Sellafield is the name given to a large site in the UK that now receives and processes/stores all spent fuel from UK nuclear plants, it is now purely a processing centre, though it contains the first magnox type reactors built. At that time it was called Calder Hall (confusing!) and the first magnox reactor of four built was on line in 1956. Later there was a prototype AGR built on the site.
The first two reactors on the site were air cooled ones for plutonium production, they were not power producing and I don't think you mean these.
All these reactors are permanently shutdown now
It takes about 8-10 mn $ to setup a nuclear power plant. but the resources used in it are inexpensive common in the earth's crust
Yes; the average nuclear power plant yields about 3 tons of radioactive waste each year.
The output of nuclear reactors varies but if we take 1000 MWe as typical, and there are 8760 hours in a year, this gives 1000 x 8760 MegaWatthours, or 8760 GigaWatthours, or 8.760 TeraWatthours.
Leo Szilard in 1933, he patented them the next year in the UK. But he could not build them by himself. It took 12 more years and a huge investment in industrial infrastructure before the US built the first bombs and usable nuclear power had to wait until after the war.
The Enercon E-126 is capable of delivering 7MW. A modern nuclear plant is capable of delivering 1500 MW. Divide, and you get 214. Sounds reasonable, until you factor in availability... hmmm... And you need to consider that "modern" is actually a twenty year old design, and that today we can actually do a lot better than that.
This was built in the UK at Calder Hall, opened 1956
Construction for the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant started the 25th of July, 1967. The plant was built by Kajima Construction Corporation, Ltd. This is a Japanese construction company. Founded in 1840. Fukushima I was fully operational in the year 1971.
First licence issued 1985. See link below
1982
The first nuclear reactor, CP-1, was built and operated in 1942. It generated no electricity, its peak thermal power was one half watt. The first nuclear power plant was connected to the grid sometime in the 1950s.

The U.S., at its peak state, had close to 32500 nuclear weapons (about the year 1965). They now have roughly 10000.

The output of nuclear reactors varies with design, but if we take 1000 MWe as typical, and there are 8760 hours in a year, the answer is 1000 x 8760 MegaWatthours, or 8760 GigaWatthours
The first nuclear reactor was in former Soviet Union that operated in year 1954 at obninisk.
