NUCLEAR FACTS

Nuclear technology has existed since Dr. Enrico Fermi achieved the first controlled nuclear reaction on Dec. 2, 1942. It took nine more years before the first electricity was generated with an experimental nuclear reactor to light four light bulbs. Since these significant mileposts were achieved, nuclear power generation has become the clean air resource for generating electricity for countless homes in the United States and around the world.
