Tarapur, Maharashtra, started operation 1969
India's first nuclear reactor is called the Apsara reactor. It was commissioned in August 1956 at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Mumbai.
The original name of a nuclear reactor is an "atomic pile". The term was first used by Enrico Fermi to describe the experimental setup of the first controlled nuclear chain reaction in Chicago during the Manhattan Project in the 1940s.
The first nuclear reactor became operational in 1942 as a part of the Manhattan Project, which was a research and development project during World War II that produced the first nuclear weapons. This marked the beginning of the nuclear age, leading to the development of nuclear power for electricity generation and revolutionizing the field of nuclear physics.
There were no operational nuclear reactors in 1934 as the first functioning nuclear reactor, the Chicago Pile-1, was not built until 1942 as part of the Manhattan Project.
The first Indian nuclear reactor's name is APSARA.

The first nuclear reactor was in former Soviet Union that operated in year 1954 at obninisk.
1942, the first demonstration reactor as part of the Manhattan Project
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.
This was part of the Manhattan Project in WW2, the first reactor was designed by Enrico Fermi
