When did fermi achieve the first nuclear reaction?
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.
Who invented the nuclear power and the nuclear bomb?
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.
Why is nuclear power controversial?
I think mainly because of the history of its use in WW2 as a weapon, this was the first time the general public were aware of nuclear power and the fear of its use in wartime has meant a continuing suspicion of it and scientists involved. As an industrial process for producing electricity it might not have attracted such suspicion if it had never been used as a weapon. It has a pretty good record of safety, even with the Chernobyl disaster having occurred, compared with other high energy industries such as coal mining. As an example of what can happen with industrial processes, take the example of the Union Carbide plant explosion in India (I forget the year). About 4000 people died due to exposure to dioxins, this was far worse than Chernobyl.
How much electricity does India propose to generate through nuclear power by the year 2000?
It is now 2009 so this question is out of date
How much do nuclear scientists earn?
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.
In which year did the explosion at Chernobyl nuclear reactor occur?

On what month day and year was the first man made nuclear explosion?

In which five year plan includes pokhran explossion?
Nuclear test plan is a plan where Pokhran explosion is included.
Where was the nuclear explosion at in 1986?
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.
