[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3206184, member: 7900"] Up near Arco, Idaho, which is not too far from Craters of the Moon, is the area where nuclear generation of electricity was first done. It is called EBR-1 and is now a museum. Very fascinating place to see. In addition to being the first nuclear generation facility, it also was involved with testing for removing nuclear materials from Three Mile Island. [url=https://terrymiller.smugmug.com/Idaho-Images/Experimental-Breeder-Reactor-1-Near-Arco-ID/i-7gGjHKM/A][img]https://photos.smugmug.com/Idaho-Images/Experimental-Breeder-Reactor-1-Near-Arco-ID/i-7gGjHKM/0/11630882/X2/DSC_9114-X2.jpg[/img][/url] The first "generator" was capable of generating enough electricity for the facility itself. Later facilities generated enough to supply electricity for Arco, if I remember right.
