Argonne National Laboratory was assigned by the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) the lead role in developing commercial nuclear energy beginning in the 1940s. . Between then and the turn of the 21st century, Argonne designed, built, and operated fourteen reactors [21] at its site southwest of Chicago, and another fourteen reactors [21] at the National Reactors Testing Station in Idaho.
