Nuclear Energy Moves Ahead in India, China, the UK and the Middle East, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

The first man-made nuclear fission was achieved in 1938, unlocking atomic power both for destructive and creative purposes.  In 1951, usable electricity was created via a nuclear reactor for the first time, thanks largely to research conducted at the Manhattan Project that developed the first atomic weapons during World War II.
By the 1970s, nuclear energy was in widespread use in the U.S. and abroad as a fuel to heat steam that turns electric generation turbines.  As of 2021, nuclear power provided about 19% of the electricity generated in the U.S., created by 92 nuclear reactors, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (www.eia.gov).  The number has been steadily decreasing in recent years.
