Nuclear history by country refers to the development, use, and policies surrounding nuclear weapons and nuclear energy in various nations. Here's a brief overview of key countries known for their nuclear history: ### United States - **First Nuclear Weapon**: The Manhattan Project during World War II led to the development and testing of the first atomic bomb in 1945. - **Use in War**: The U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.
Nuclear power is an important source of electricity generation in many countries around the world. As of my last update in October 2023, here is an overview of nuclear power by several key countries: ### 1. **United States** - **Reactors**: The U.S. has the largest number of operational nuclear reactors, totaling around 93.
Nuclear technology in Argentina refers to the country's use of nuclear energy for various purposes, including electricity generation, medical applications, and research. Argentina has developed a significant nuclear program since the mid-20th century, becoming one of the pioneers in nuclear technology in Latin America. Here are some key aspects of nuclear technology in Argentina: 1. **Nuclear Power Plants**: Argentina operates several nuclear power plants that contribute to the national electricity grid.
Nuclear technology in Australia primarily encompasses the use of nuclear energy, research, and applications in various fields, including medicine and industry. Australia is known for its significant reserves of uranium, which is utilized both domestically and internationally for nuclear fuel. Here are some key aspects of nuclear technology in Australia: 1. **Uranium Production**: Australia is one of the largest producers of uranium in the world.
Nuclear technology in Bangladesh primarily revolves around peaceful applications, particularly in energy generation, medical uses, and agricultural practices. Here are some key aspects of nuclear technology in Bangladesh: 1. **Nuclear Power Plants**: Bangladesh has initiated the development of nuclear power as a means to meet its growing energy demands. The Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, located in the Pabna district, is the first nuclear power plant in Bangladesh.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/introduction-to-the-ourbigbook-project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
