In December 1951, an experimental breeder reactor (EBR Reactor in Idaho) produced the first usable electric power from the atom, lighting four light bulbs. Scientists had already known that nuclear power could produce electricity. The purpose of the experimental EBR was to prove that a breeder reactor could produce more fuel than it used. |
