Nuclear reactors are a great achievement in the human race. Reactors where originally used for research into the world of nuclear energy. The first reactor was built and sustained by the Italian scientist Enrico Fermi, at the University of Chicago in 1942. It is also interesting to know that even though the scientist didn't realize the potential danger of a mass explosion of energy and the destructive capability to the human body, they where not harmed during the experiment, there where no cases of radiation sickness, nor did the reactor explode (unlikely). …
