In 2013, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC will once again offer a limited number of Savannah River Site (SRS) tours for the general public.

Twenty-two general site driving tours of SRS are being offered to the public in 2013, providing openings for approximately 1,100 people to visit the site.  Tour check-in begins at 12:30 p.m., at the Aiken County, S.C., Center for Hydrogen Research (click for map), located off Highway 278, near the northern boundary of the site.  Guests will be given an overview presentation safety briefing, tour of the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL) and general driving tour of the site. The tour will conclude at approximately 4:30pm.

Site tours provide an opportunity for those interested in SRS to better understand the Department of Energy’s facilities and workers that changed the face of Aiken, Barnwell and Allendale Counties, nearby cities and helped win the Cold War.  Guests will also learn about facilities supporting future missions of the Savannah River Site.

All tours are free of charge and each will accommodate 50 participants. Tour participants must be 18 years of age or older and must be U.S. Citizens.  Two forms of identification are required at check-in the day of the tour. Click here to view a list of acceptable IDs.
