He was in charge of a team which first demonstrated that a nuclear chain reaction could be produced. This was in December 1942 and was done under the Manhattan Project during WW2, under very secret security at the time, in Chicago. The techniques were applied to the much larger reactors built at Hanford Wa which produced the required plutonium for weapons. None of these reactors produced electricity.
Enrico Fermi
The first inventor of a nuclear reactor was Enrico Fermi. Refer to link below.
The nuclear reactor was invented in 1933 by Leo Szilard, in London, but he did not try to build one. The first functioning nuclear reactor, CP-1, was designed and built in 1942 by Enrico Fermi, in Chicago, IL.

J. Ernest Wilkins, Jr. did not invent the nuclear reactor. The ideas for the nuclear reactor were developed while he was an undergrad at the University of Chicago (though he was brilliant and entered college at age 13).Leó Szilárd and Enrico Fermi are credited with the first nuclear reactor design.

Enrico Fermi did not invent nuclear power, but he was a key figure in early research on nuclear reactions. He conducted his groundbreaking research on nuclear fission at the University of Rome in Italy and later at Columbia University in the United States.
False, but he worked on the project that did.Enrico Fermi created the first nuclear reactor, is true.
