EBR - I

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 pm
on December 20, 1951 it became the world's first electricity-generating nuclear power plant when it
produced sufficient electricity to illuminate four 200-watt light bulbs. It subsequently generated
sufficient electricity to power its building, and continued to be used for experimental purposes
until it was decommissioned in 1964.
