Once more, Innovate Australia proudly assumes the role of the official Ambassador for World Nuclear Energy Day in the year 2023. For the third consecutive occasion, we extend a cordial invitation to commemorate the astounding strides in technology and ingenuity within the global nuclear energy sector.
The significance of December 2nd as our chosen date remains twofold. It is a tribute to the momentous day when the first-ever self-sustaining chain reaction was achieved. Additionally, it marks the inauguration of the inaugural commercial-scale electric power reactor. On December 2, 1942, Fermi’s pioneering Chicago Pile-1 reactor achieved the historic milestone of a self-sustaining chain reaction. Furthermore, precisely 15 years later, on December 2, 1957, the first commercial-sized reactor in Shippingport, Pennsylvania, also reached criticality today. Delve deeper into this intriguing history by exploring Chicago Pile-1: A Brick Histor
