Enrico Fermi is most famously recognized for his pioneering achievement in building the world's first:
A. X-ray machine
B. Atomic Bomb
C. Particle Accelerator (Cyclotron)
D. Nuclear Reactor
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Enrico Fermi led the team that constructed 'Chicago Pile-1', which achieved the world's first artificial, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction on December 2, 1942. This was the first nuclear reactor. While he worked on the Manhattan Project (atomic bomb), his crowning individual distinction is creating the first controlled reactor.
