Savannah
River Site Missions
SRS is a Department
of Energy facility located near Aiken, S.C. The 310-square-mile
complex borders the Savannah River between South Carolina
and Georgia. SRS was constructed during the early 1950s to
support our nation’s security. For 35 years, SRS produced
the basic materials used to fabricate nuclear weapons. As
the world changed, so did the site. SRS now supports current
and future national security requirements by reducing the
global nuclear nonproliferation danger, protecting and enhancing
America’s energy independence, restoring the environment,
and managing waste and nuclear materials. SRS scientists and
engineers conduct research, develop technologies and implement
practical solutions in support of ongoing missions at SRS.
