There were no nuclear power plants during World War II. The Chicago Pile, or CP-1, had a nuclear reaction going for about half an hour, but no energy was derived from it.
The first electrical power generated by nuclear plant was at the EBR-I experimental station near Arco, Idaho, on December 20, 1951, six years after the end of WWII.
