This 1950s government project displaced a total of nearly 6,000 people, and the arrival of plant workers into the area forever changed the culture and economy of the surrounding Aiken and Augusta communities. The Savannah River Plant marked a new era of technological innovations and scientific advances that shaped the future not only of South Carolina but the entire nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStill an active Department of Energy facility today, the Savannah River Site provides national security through contemporary missions. The Savannah River Site Museum shares these photographs to connect SRS employees, retirees, and the general public to a local story with national impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Savannah River Site Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467108758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467108751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.95h x 6.08w x 0.38d","brand":"Savannah River Site Museum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071467647231,"sku":"9781467108751","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b33dd766-30f5-4505-9bb6-e29691f42fde.jpg?v=1685436269","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/savannah-river-plant-savannah-river-site-museum-9781467108751","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
