EBR-I(Experimental Breeder Reactor No. 1) is a fast breeder experimental reactor built in remote desert to 18 miles (29km) of southeast from Idaho Arco.

I succeeded in the world's first nuclear power generation at 1:50 on the afternoon of December 20, 1951. The electricity at that time turned on four 200 watts electric bulbs.

Not only the world's first nuclear power generation was called the nuclear reactor which I went, but also EBR-I was the world's first fast breeder and was the nuclear reactor which assumed world's first plutonium fuel.

I was used for various experimental uses afterwards until it was closed down in 1964.

History

In EBR-I, construction was begun late as facilities of American national reactor laboratory (current Idaho National Laboratory) in 1949. The nuclear reactor was designed by a team of the Walter gin (Walter Zinn) of Argonne Natl. Lab.

EBR-I was completed in early 1951 and achieved the first critical point on August 24, 1951. On December 20, the same year, I succeeded in the first nuclear power generation.

The purpose of the design of EBR-I was to prove the possibility of the breeder reactor which nuclear physics suggested as well as nuclear power generation. By the experiment of 1953, the breeder reactor proved that a hypothesis to be able to multiply nuclear fuel was right.

However, on November 29, 1955, EBR-I caused partial meltdown by the mistake of the member of driving. Repair was carried out for the later experiment.

Decommissioning and present

EBR-I stopped operation in 1964 and was replaced with EBR-II.

I was performed designation [³] to United States of America Kunisada history building in [¹] [²], 2004 in 1965 by IEEE milestone.

From 1976, these facilities are opened to the public every year only during a period of (Monday first in September) on Labor Day from (Monday last in May) on a death in battle officers mourning memorial day. Two nuclear reactors developed by an atomic energy plane project of the 1950s elsewhere are shown. ^[4]
