New Age Delivers First Atomic Power For Peace
The Atomic Energy Commission announced that for the first time in history atomic energy was harnessed to civilian use at the national reactor testing station near Arco Idaho. About 100 kilowatts of electric power were produced for over two days to light homes and operate devices, but officials stressed this did not imply immediate civilian adoption or economic viability. The experiment used a breeder reactor with liquid metal cooling and steam to drive turbines, serving as an incidental step toward broader goals of atomic power and national defense materials.
