*Please visit the temple website for open hours and appointments.*Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are considered houses of God, a place of holiness and peace separate from the preoccupations of the world. They provide a place where Church members make formal promises and commitments to God. They are also the place where the highest sacraments of the faith occur the marriage of couples and the "sealing" of families for eternity. Temples serve as the only place where ceremonies such as baptism and eternal marriage can be performed on behalf of those who have died. Temples point Latter-day Saints to Jesus Christ and their eventual life with Him.

EBR-1 or Experimental Breeder Reactor 1 is a nuclear reactor that became the first self sufficient nuclear reactor and was in use from 1951 to 1964, post which EBR-2 came into existence. The EBR-1 was in construction from 1949 till 1951 and in 1955 there was a partial meltdown in the core reactors. It was the first reactor in the world to produce electricity from atomic energy, and also the first breeder reactor to use Plutonium as fuel. And when you arrive here, you shall understand from first hand experience how big a breakthrough it was to create energy out of a nuclear reaction. The idea of creating energy that was enough to support large masses of land and equipment was derived through this process. In 1965, EBR-1 was declared a National Historic Landmark.
