Savannah River Site

By eleven, you've made a kind of peace with the dark that probably isn't healthy, but gets the job done.

The Savannah River site runs 300 square miles of pinewood and swamp and controlled nuclear misery down in South Carolina.

And most of it looks exactly the same at 2 in the morning as it does at 2 in the afternoon.

Flat.

The impact detonated the conventional explosives in two of them, and two square kilometers of land became contaminated with uranium and plutonium.

1,750 tons of the contaminated material were dug up and transported to the states for disposal at the Savannah River Plant in South Carolina.

It took 80 days to track down the fourth bomb, which was eventually discovered 760 meters under the sea in April 1966.

Most people don't even know what the Department of Energy is, right? So, so here's yet another academic, uh, institution.

This is, uh, Savannah River Site, okay? Here we, we got Stony Brook.

Talk about upstate New York, um, and the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Uh, Shiku Chen receives DOE Genesis Mission award, and you go down the line, okay? I th- believe the next one is Purdue in the physics department.

And also DuPont, major government contractor.

They have ties in with the Manhattan Project, the Savannah River Site, all these Cold War things, the Tritium Project, all these things, right? DuPont's, DuPont's a baddie.

DuPont's not a goodie.

DuPont, that was the company that Nell worked for in Deadly Dew, right? Right?
