http://ThoriumRemix.com/ Well, after the war, they picked up on this again because now they were thinking- Let's talk about making power instead of making nuclear weapons.

And so what happened is they put resources into the plutonium-breeder reactor almost from the get-go. 

They built the Experimental Breeder Reactor One in 1951.

This was the first reactor that made electricity.

Four little light bulbs here.
This was a breeder reactor.

It was designed to convert plutonium into energy while making new plutonium.

This was not a light water reactor!
This predated the light-water reactor by years!
