when was the first nucear energy power plant started?

The world's first practical nuclear power plant was put into successful operation in May 1953 at Arco, Idaho, where a prototype power plant for the U.S. Navy's nuclear-powered submarine had been under construction for several years. Electric power has also been obtained from other nuclear reactors both in this country and in England, but merely as a by-product of the operation of the reactor. Thus much of the research and engineering required to solve the unique problems peculiar to a highly radioactive environment has been done and it now appears feasible to construct a power plant for the production of industrial power. Last year the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) let contracts to four leading industrial firms to make independent nuclear power feasibility studies and their reports have been uniformly favorable. However, as yet no private business has announced its willingness to risk its own capital on such an enterprise. Therefore, in order not to lose the nuclear power race at the international level, the Federal Government has agreed to finance such a project. The first nuclear power plant designed primarily for the production of industrial power will accordingly be built by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation and should be in operation in 3 or 4 years.\n\n© 1993-2003 Microsoft Corporation.

Antarctica--in particular, the Russian station Vostok, at which a record-      setting low temperature of one hundred and twenty-eight point six below zero      Fahrenheit was recorded in nineteen eighty-three. \n\n In nineteen-o-eight the university of Leiden      made history by producing the first super-cooled helium. Guess how cold liquid      helium is? \nFour hundred fifty-two degrees below zero Fahrenheit.\nhttp://amos.indiana.edu/library/scripts/coldworld.html

try looking up "nuclear" energy..you will find more info i am sure.

The "Trinity" test was the first test of a nuclear weapon, conducted by the United States on July 16, 1945 at 33.675° N 106.475° W. , thirty miles southeast of Socorro on what is now White Sands Missile Range near Alamogordo, New Mexico. It was a test of an implosion-design plutonium bomb, the same type of weapon later dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. The detonation was equivalent to the explosion of around 20 kilotons of TNT, and is usually credited as the beginning of the Atomic Age.

The existence of promethium was first predicted by Bohuslav Brauner in 1902; this prediction was confirmed by Henry Moseley in 1914. Several groups claimed to have produced the element, but they could not confirm their discoveries because of the difficulty of separating promethium from other elements. Proof of the existence of promethium was obtained in 1945 by Jacob A. Marinsky, Lawrence E. Glendenin and Charles D. Coryell during the analysis of byproducts of uranium fission; however, being too busy with defense-related research during World War II, they did not announce their discovery until 1947

Good Project:\n\nThere have been different attempts all need to be developed yet.\n\nThe attempts include:\n1.Solar energy through silicon cells.\nThis is of more importance in hot regions with maximum sun shine.\n\n2.Ethanol by way of combustion.\nStill an economical method is to be discovered for extracting ethnol from sugarcane.\n\n3.Hydrogen by combustion.\nHydrogen is to be obtained by decomposition of water.\n\n4. Nuclear energy at small scale.\nSo far techniques on domastic production have not been successful.

All power plants convert heat into electricity using steam. At nuclear power plants, the heat to make the steam is created when atoms split apart.

a diesel engine , it is a power station generator from MANN GMBH ,1979, only in size not capacity, i think so , not sure

Nuclear power.  If not a reactor then a thermo-isotopic core.  \n\nIt takes 10 yrs to get there, a long time for batteries.\nNot only that, but that distance, the sun is just a bright star, so that rules out solar power.

No, NREL does not work with nuclear power.  Nuclear is not considered "renewable."\n\nSee for yourself\nhttp://www.nrel.gov

Fossil energy is provided by things like coal, natural gas and oil. It is not easy to tell which was used first as a fuel, oil or coal. There have been natural seeps of oil around for a long time that could have been burned in lamps. Oil was certainly well known in the ancient world. For example, pitch was used by the ancient Egyptians to seal the pyramids and to coat their mummies. Boats along the Euphrates in some of the earliest human recorded settlements were sealed with pitch.\n\nOil had become so important as a fuel source in China as much as 1700 years ago that it oil wells were being dug to extract it. We have evidence of oil wells up to 800 feet deep were being drilled in China in 347 CE. \n\nAnother contender for oldest fossil fuel usage is coal. It was used as ornamentation in both China and the Roman empire, but was probably first used as fuel in Britain during the Roman period. Peat, a form of coal, was not used as fuel apparently until much later when wood supplies had been exhausted in Europe.

The Chernobyl accident occurred on April 26, 1986 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Pripyat, Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union). It is regarded as the worst accident in the history of nuclear power. Because there was no containment building, a plume of radioactive fallout drifted over parts of the western Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, UK, and the eastern United States. Large areas of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia were badly contaminated, resulting in the evacuation and resettlement of roughly 200,000 people. About 60% of the radioactive fallout landed in Belarus.
