The field assemblies are shown under twenty feet of water and behind empty fuel hangers. For the high flux operation, the Atomic Energy Commission has converted a reactor from military to peaceful applications. The objectives of this operation are...
The black object in the plastic bag held above in an outstretched gloved hand is plutonium, which emerges from the final production process at Savannah River in metal form. Plutonium, an element not found on earth, is created in Savannah River...
The dome in the foreground is part of containment vessel housing the Heavy Water Components Test Reactor at the Savannah River Plant. The vessel is 70 feet in diameter and approximately 125 feet high. Shown is the 65 foot portion of the structure...
Painting by Xanthus Russell Smith depicting the capture of the Confederate ironclad "C.S.S. Atlanta" on 17 June 1863. The U.S. Navy monitor "U.S.S. Weehawken," assisted by the monitor "U.S.S. Nahant," captured the "Atlanta" after a brief...
This is the manufacturing (reactor) unit at the Savannah River Plant. Plutonium produced in SRP reactors in the interest of national security also has potential use as a fuel for use in power reactors to generate electric energy.

Building in the background (left) is a Separations Facility at the Savannah River Plant. Chemical processing of uranium slugs takes place in this facility after the uranium has been brought from the plant reactors. In the foreground are huge...
Huge concrete encased steel tanks provide containment for radioactive by products at the Savannah River Project. Only the vents can be seen since the tanks have been backfilled and covered with dirt.
The Heavy Water Components Test Reactor, an experimental pressurized heavy water reactor, designed and built by the DuPont Company for the Atomic Energy Commission at its Savannah River Plant near Aiken, South Carolina became operative March 3,...
