The Savannah River Site (SRS) is a complex located in South Carolina, primarily established in the 1950s for nuclear weapons production. It played a vital role in the Cold War by manufacturing plutonium and other materials used in atomic bombs.

It covers over 300 square miles and involves various government and private organizations working on safe and sustainable practices related to nuclear energy and its legacy.
