History of Use of Nuclear Power

Nuclear in Nagasaki

First successful experiment for nuclear energy carried by the German physicist Otto Hahn, Lise Meiner and Fritz Strassman in 1938.

In the second world war, precisely oada Enrico Fermi in 1942 to find a chain of nuclear raksi that produces high energy using plutonium materials. Plutonium is used as material basis of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan.

Nuclear energy as electricity generation using a nuclear reactor was first used on 20 December 1951 in near the town of Arco, Idaho. Energy produced about 100 kW.

From year to year the energy capacity of nuclear reactors experiencing rapid development. In the year 1960.1 gigawatt of energy produced, while in 1970, 100 gigawatts produced and in 1980 300 giga watt of nuclear energy is produced. After 1980, the capacity of the energy produced is not too increased rapidly. Until 2005, only 366 gigawatts of energy produced.

Fission Reaction Nuclear

Movement to oppose any nuclear energy program, a new beginning in the late 20th century. This is based from the fear of "nuclear accident" and fear of the dangers of the invisible radiation from nuclear power itself. In addition, fears of leaks from its storage system. Especially after the nuclear accident at Three mile Island and Chernobyl.
