It was first developed in the 1940s, and during the Second World War research initially focussed on producing bombs by splitting the atoms of either uranium or plutonium. In the 1950s attention turned to the peaceful purposes of … Today, the world produces as much electricity from nuclear energy as it did from all sources combined in 1960. Civil nuclear power can now boast over 13000 reactor years of experience and supplies almost 16% of global electricity needs, …
