The reactor out in Idaho was designed and built as Chicago Pile-4 and was only placed in Idaho because our there it couldn’t blow up around anything that mattered.

I’m not sure a reactor designed, built and operated by scientists at the university of Chicago has much to do with Idaho.

Note: as a native Chicagoan and a lover of nuclear energy, I take this stuff overly seriously :)
