All who visit give "glowing" reviews. Probably not your reason for visiting Sun Valley, but if you are into unique experiences it's about an hour's drive from Bellevue. The world's first peacetime use of nuclear power occurred when the U.S. Government switched on Experimental Breeder Reactor #1 (EBR-1) near Arco, Idaho, on December 20, 1951. The town of Arco became the first city in the world to be lit by atomic power. At EBR-1, tours are self-guided. See the first light bulbs lit by atomic power and "the hot cell," sealed from the rest of the world since 1974, and protected from you by multiple layers of oil-separated glass over three feet thick. They made plutonium-239 in this blocky building. You can take pictures, try your skill at operating a robotic arm, and act out your own Chernobyl in the main control room. And don't miss Arco, Idaho's annual "Atomic Days" celebration held each July. It's a blast.

Birthplace of American Nucler power. At 1:50 p.m. on December 20, 1951, it became one of the world's first electricity-generating nuclear power plants when it produced sufficient electricity to illuminate four 200-watt light bulbs. EBR-I subsequently generated sufficient electricity to power its building, and continued to be used for experimental purposes until it was decommissioned in 1964. The museum is open for visitors from late May until early September.

EBR-1 is a tourist stop that is extremely educational. It is the "retired" nuclear facility that resides not far from the newer facility.
