Experimental Breeder Reactor-1 is a national historical landmark located at Idaho National Laboratory off US-20/26 near Arco, Idaho. A breeder reactor is one that produces more fuel than it uses. This is considered the first nuclear reactor in the world that was used for generating electricity.
A very interesting morning at the EBR-1 lab with several exhibits of great interest. The display even included references to the Fukushima disaster (just 5 months prior to our visit)." />
