Answer: On December 20th, 1951 in Idaho, United States.

The world's first experimental nuclear power plant was the Experimental Breeder Reactor Number One (EBR-I), which was built in a desert in Idaho, United States.

This reactor made history when, on December 20th, 1951, four 200-watt light bulbs were illuminated by means of atomic energy, specifically by nuclear fission reaction.
