Since 1951, fifty-two reactors have been built on the grounds of what was originally the Atomic Energy Commission's National Reactor Testing Station, currently the location of the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory (INL). Constructed in 1967, the ATR is the second-oldest of three reactors still in operation at the site. [2]
Stationary Low-Power Reactor Number One, also known as SL-1, initially the Argonne Low Power Reactor (ALPR), was a United States Army experimental nuclear reactor in the western United States at the National Reactor Testing Station (NRTS) in Idaho about forty miles (65 km) west of Idaho Falls, now the Idaho National Laboratory.
Prototype of core for USS Nautilus Experimental Breeder Reactor Number 1 in Idaho, the first reactor to generate a usable amount of electricity. Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is one of the national laboratories of the United States Department of Energy and is managed by the Battelle Energy Alliance.
The land-based nuclear reactor was built at the National Reactor Testing Station, later called Idaho National Engineering Laboratory near Arco, Idaho. [1] The plant was the prototype for the power system of USS Nautilus, the world's first nuclear-powered submarine, which used the improved S2W reactor.
The Experimental Breeder Reactor II. Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) was a sodium-cooled fast reactor designed, built and operated by Argonne National Laboratory at the National Reactor Testing Station in Idaho. It was shut down in 1994. Custody of the reactor was transferred to Idaho National Laboratory after its founding in 2005.
Throughout 2024, the Idaho National Laboratory will celebrate its 75th anniversary. Established in 1949 as the National Reactor Testing Station, researchers at the Idaho site have conducted ...
EBR-I's construction started in late 1949. The reactor was designed and built by a team led by Walter Zinn at the Idaho site of the Argonne National Laboratory, [6] known as Argonne-West (since 2005 part of Idaho National Laboratory). In its early stages, the reactor plant was referred to as Chicago Pile 4 (CP-4) and Zinn's Infernal Pile . [7]
Idaho National Laboratory designed [when?] a molten-salt-cooled, molten-salt-fuelled reactor with a prospective output of 1000 MW e. [ 92 ] Kirk Sorensen, former NASA scientist and chief nuclear technologist at Teledyne Brown Engineering , is a long-time promoter of the thorium fuel cycle , coining the term liquid fluoride thorium reactor .
