The Experimental Breeder Reactor-1 was the first facility to produce electricity generated by nuclear
energy. The Experimental Breeder Reactor - 1 (EBR-1) is located at the Idaho National Engineering
and Environmental Laboratory in Idaho Falls, Idaho. On December 20, 1951, the EBR-1 produced the
first usable electricity generated by atomic energy. From the next day until it was decommissioned in
1963, the EBR-1 supplied all of the power for its own building. Three years after it was decommissioned,
President Johnson dedicated the facility as a registered National Historic Landmark.
