Touring Nuclear Energy's Birthplace




Don Miley, Tour Guide at Idaho National Laboratory, takes viewers on a trip to the Experimental Breeder Reactor I (EBR-I).  In 1951, the first electricity from nuclear power was generated at EBR-I – using a reactor which actually bred more fuel than it consumed, using an all-plutonium core.

EBR-I paved the path for nuclear energy worldwide.
