Nuclear Workers Honored at ex-SC Weapons Complex

SRS officials are hosting a special hour-long Friday at the former nuclear weapons complex near Aiken.
The U.S. Senate in May approved a resolution designating Friday as a day to recognize service of Americans who built and maintained the country's nuclear forces during World War II, through the Cold War and continuing today.
The 310-square-mile Savannah River Site opened in the early 1950s and once produced plutonium and tritium for atomic bombs.
The site's reactors have been shut down for more than 15 years, and much of the work at the site currently revolves around environmental cleanup.
