World Nuclear Energy Day – December 2nd – Webinar

2 December, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am

World Nuclear Energy Day - December 2nd - Webinar
Showcasing Nuclear Energy Success around the Globe

This is the one day when people around the globe celebrate the virtues and benefits of nuclear energy, open their shops for tours (both virtual and physical), discuss new technologies, and work to include nuclear energy in legislation at the local, regional, national and international levels.

This date, December 2nd, was selected to acknowledge BOTH the first date for a self-sustaining chain reaction and also the date of the start-up of the first commercial-scale electric power reactor. Fermi’s first nuclear reactor named the Chicago Pile-1 became the first to create a self-sustaining chain reaction on December 2, 1942. In addition, the first commercial-sized reactor in Shippingport, Pennsylvania also went critical on December 2nd, 1957; exactly 15 years later on the same day.

Events and celebrations focus on nuclear in your own neighborhood, whether it be in agriculture, medicine, power, energy, technology, propulsion, food irradiation, space missions, or so many more.
