the first nuclear reactor you mentioned above where is located ?
Stagg Field
Chicago Pile-1
In Chicago, Samuel K. Allison had found a suitable location long, wide and high, sunk slightly below ground level, in a space under the stands at Stagg Field originally built as a rackets court.
where can the resource for nuclear energy be found It is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium. what is nuclear power ? It is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant. which was the first nuclear reactor ? Chicago Pile-1 does this power produce any waste ? Yes, spent nuclear fuel is the waste generated. what are different types of waste ? Low-level radioactive waste, is one type of nuclear waste. It is found in the form of contaminated items like clothing, hand tools, water purifier resins, and the materials of which the reactor itself is built. what is nuclear fusion ? It is a proposed form of power generation that would generate electricity by using heat from nuclear fusion reactions. how is the waste disposed off ? There are no commercial scale purpose built underground high-level waste repositories in operation. Presently, waste is mainly stored at individual reactor sites and there are over 430 locations around the world where radioactive material continues to accumulate.

Chicago Pile-1 [SEP] Choice of site
In Chicago, Samuel K. Allison had found a suitable location long, wide and high, sunk slightly below ground level, in a space under the stands at Stagg Field originally built as a rackets court. Stagg Field had been largely unused since the University of Chicago had given up playing American football in 1939, but the rackets courts under West Stands were still used for playing squash and handball. Leona Woods and Anthony L. Turkevich played squash there in 1940. Since it was intended for strenuous exercise, the area was unheated, and very cold in the winter. The nearby North Stands had a pair of ice skating rinks on the ground floor, which although they were unrefrigerated, seldom melted in winter.
