Apr 1, 2020 8:00 AM	:: Nuclear Pioneers: EBR-I — On December 20, 1951, Argonne National Laboratory’s Experimental Breeder Reactor-I (EBR-I) at Argonne-West (today the Materials and Fuels Complex within Idaho National Laboratory) became the first reactor to produce a useable amount of electricity from a plutonium-fueled nuclear reactor. This video presents interviews with the original Argonne researchers, who describe how the reactor was developed.	Idaho National Laboratory	legacy, reactors, EBR-I
