Nuclear energy was discovered accidentally by French physicist Henri Becquerel, when he found that photographic plates stored near uranium compounds reacted as though they had been exposed to light in a way similar to X-rays.uclear reactors produce energy from uranium through an atomic fission reactionâthat is, radioactive atoms are split apart and the energy that is released in that fission is harnessed to produce heat and electricity.
Early exploration nuclear reactors designed by the Manhattan Project's Metallurgical Laboratory, the direct predecessor to Argonne National Laboratory, began the development of nuclear technology. Back to Argonne Reactors Overview. 1  CP-1. 2  CP-2. 3  CP-3.
