Much of  the campus is closed to the public, except a small part where you can  see what remains today of the world’s first nuclear power plant. The  Idaho National Laboratory has been involved in nuclear research for  close to seventy years now. Much of what we know today of nuclear  reactors and how they behave and misbehave was discovered here. More  than 50 nuclear reactors have been built on this site, including the  world’s first electricity-generating nuclear power plant and the power  plant for the world's first nuclear submarine. <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nBfcAhLKKNU/WYqVtJmtHzI/AAAAAAABTVw/_0Qqy-FjwRkXppeOvPsyySCji3B7JrgoQCHMYCw/experimental-breeder-reactor-46?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (A mock setup of the four bulbs that lit up on the historic day.) The  laboratory made history in the early afternoon of December 20, 1951,  when a row of four 200-watt light bulbs lit up in a nondescript brick  building. Electricity required to power them came from a generator  connected to Experimental Breeder Reactor-I (EBR-I). This was the first  time that a usable amount of electrical power had ever been generated  from nuclear fission. Only days later, the reactor produced enough  electricity to power the entire EBR complex. The Experimental  Breeder Reactor-I was originally built not to produce electricity but to  demonstrate that breeder reactors are a physical possibility. A breeder  reactor is a nuclear reactor that generates more fissile material than  it consumes. It does so by allowing excess neutrons to be absorbed by a  fertile isotope, which is transmuted to a fissile isotope. This fuel  breeding principle was first suggested by Enrico Fermi. EBR-1’s purpose  was to validate this theory. Not only did EBR-1 prove this principle, it  also became the first reactor to produce electricity. The EBR-I is also  the world’s first nuclear reactor to suffer a partial meltdown, when it  did on November 29, 1955. EBR-I continued operating until 1964  when it was decommissioned and replaced by its successor, the  Experimental Breeder Reactor II. The very next year, EBR-1 was declared a  National Historic Landmark. At the Experimental Breeder Reactor  No. 1 Atomic Museum today, located on U.S. Highway 20/26 between Idaho  Falls and Arco, you can see not one but four nuclear reactors, including  two aircraft nuclear propulsion prototypes, a reactor control room,  remote handling devices for radioactive materials, radiation detection  equipment, and much more. The museum remains open from Memorial Day  weekend through Labor Day weekend. <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Lkoc9793Svc/WYqVukUXacI/AAAAAAABTV0/jsjDq_Zy66QIjkBgI-ipQokCCHYsq63FwCHMYCw/EBR-I_-_Core_after_1955_incident2?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (Part of the core after the 1955 partial meltdown.) <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--qDI6PXwzTw/WYqVvjgBtyI/AAAAAAABTV4/PwaDoEQOCqMSXb9ExgB5BIB_1kMjSKFKwCHMYCw/First_four_nuclear_lit_bulbs1?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The  first production of usable nuclear electricity in Idaho National  Laboratory occurred when four light bulbs were lit with electricity  generated from the EBR-1 reactor. <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IB9-VWTwa9E/WYqVxHPfvmI/AAAAAAABTV8/X2uNv2G6IDAR81mcsUgUd23gIqrE1WXtwCHMYCw/experimental-breeder-reactor-62?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> HTRE-1  and HTRE-3, two nuclear powered jet engine prototypes in the open air,  in front of the EBR-1 visitor center. <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jMCNPMLlFZE/WYqVyaVtrWI/AAAAAAABTWA/33JjeYa7Bdkf4_zfqGHqr_vGxQOHoBh_ACHMYCw/experimental-breeder-reactor-15?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
