Once again, a site I’ve visited but didn’t recognize. We went the on a vacation last year and saw the bulbs.
Experimental Breeder Reactor I (EBR-I) is a decommissioned research reactor and U.S. National Historic Landmark located in the desert about 18 miles (29 km) southeast of Arco, Idaho. At 1:50 p.m. on December 20, 1951, it became one of the world’s first electricity-generating nuclear power plants when it produced sufficient electricity to illuminate four 200-watt light bulbs.
