Chicago Pile-1 (CP-1) was the world’s first nuclear reactor; it was constructed at the University of Chicago, by a team led by Enrico Fermi, in late 1942.
The first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was initiated in CP-1 on December 2, 1942. It operated until February 1943, when it was dismantled, moved to another location and rebuilt as Chicago Pile 2.
