Enrico Fermi achieved the first controlled nuclear reaction on December 2, 1942, in a makeshift lab under the stands of Stagg Field at the University of Chicago. This successful demonstration of a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction marked a significant milestone in the development of nuclear energy and the atomic bomb.
Nuclear power is controversial due to concerns about safety, radioactive waste disposal, potential nuclear accidents, proliferation of nuclear weapons, and the high costs of building and maintaining nuclear power plants. Public perception of nuclear power is influenced by past accidents such as Chernobyl and Fukushima, as well as the long-term environmental impacts of storing radioactive waste.
Nuclear power was discovered by Enrico Fermi in 1938, while the nuclear bomb was developed as part of the Manhattan Project during World War II, primarily by scientists including J. Robert Oppenheimer and Edward Teller.
India aimed to generate 10,000 megawatts of electricity through nuclear power by the year 2000.
Nuclear scientists can earn a wide range of salaries depending on factors such as experience, location, and employer. On average, nuclear scientists in the United States can earn anywhere from $70,000 to over $150,000 per year.
1986, the same year as the Challenger Space Shuttle explosion.

Nuclear test plan is a plan where Pokhran explosion is included.
I don't know of one specifically, there was still underground nuclear testing at the time so there might have been several that year. If you are thinking of the reactor explosion at Chernobyl that year, that was not a nuclear explosion, just a large steam explosion when the coolant water flash vaporized blowing the roof off the reactor. Once the graphite moderator in the core was exposed to air it caught fire, this was the worst part of the disaster as burning graphite is nearly impossible to put out and the smoke was carrying all kinds of radioactive material from deep in the core.
Fallout is the residual radiation that falls out of the atmosphere after a nuclear explosion .If you mean the video game it takes place in 2077
