Savannah River Nuclear Solutions
Internship and Faculty Participant Program
Program Overview
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.
