National Reactor Testing Station

Chicago, Illinois .. The electric light bulbs in this photo show the first known use of electric power from atomic energy. The bulbs are lighted from electricity produced by the generator at the right which, in turn, operates on heat from the Experimental Breeder Reactor. This photograph was taken at the Atomic Energy Commission's (AEC) National Reactor Testing Station in Idaho, where the new reactor was operated by the Argonne National Laboratory., Credit Line: Argonne National Laboratory, courtesy AIP Emilio Segrè Visual Archives, Physics Today Collection
