No. The first nuclear generator was there, but it did not supply power to a grid. The first commercial reactor was in Sellafield, England (1956). The first in the U.S. was in Shippingport, PA (1957).

How many neucular reactors are in the us?

There were no nuclear power plants during World War II. The Chicago Pile, or CP-1, had a nuclear reaction going for about half an hour, but no energy was derived from it. The first electrical power generated by nuclear plant was at the EBR-I experimental station near Arco, Idaho, on December 20, 1951, six years after the end of WWII.
