Construction began on April 1, 1959. The reactor first went critical in January 1962 and connected to the grid in September 1963. Seven moderator elements ruptured in February 1964, and the reactor was shut down in September 1964. The Atomic Energy Commission announced its decommissioning in June 1966. Work was completed in 1969, with the below-ground reactor components entombed on site.
