Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nuclear weapons brought a dramatic end to World War II, and that same powerful force has served to prevent a major confrontation between the world's superpowers in the four decades that followed. The keystone in America's nuclear weapons arsenal during those Cold War years has been the Savannah River Plant in South Carolina, which produced plutonium and tritium for the military services, and also radioisotopes which have performed imaginative tasks in space, in medicine--notably cancer therapy--and also in industrial applications. The Savannah River facility was designed and build under urgent pressures in the early 1950s by the Du Pont Company of Wilmington, Delaware, which continued to operate the plant until 1989, under a series of contract extensions. The history of Du Pont's involvement at Savannah River is told in faithful detail by William P. Beddington in "History of Du Pont at the Savannah River Plant, "published under the auspices of the Du Pont Company in order that the true story be known."--Jacket.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work described in this volume of ''S'' Projects History is an extension of the type of work described in Volume I.E.I. du Pont de flemours & Company had entered into Contract AT (07-2)-l with the United States Atomic Energy Commission to develop, design, construct, install, and operate facilities to produce heavy water, fissionable materials, and related products. Under this contract, Du Pont constructed and operated the Savannah River Plant. The engineering, design, and construction for most of the larger ''S'' projects was performed by the Engineering DeDartment. For some of the large and many of the smaller projects the Engineering Department was responsible only for the construction because the Atomic Energy Division (AED) of the Explosives Department handled the other phases. The Engineering Department Costruction Division also performed the physical work for many of the plant work orders. This volume includes a general description of the Du Pont Engineering Department activities pertaining to the engineering, design, and construction of the ''S'' projects at the Savannah River Plant; brief summaries of the projects and principal work requests; and supplementary informaticn on a few subjects in Volume I for which final data was not available at the closing date. Projects and other plant engineering work which were handled entirely by the Explosives Department -- AED are not included in this history.

Download or read book Cold War Dixie written by Kari Frederickson and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the impact of the Savannah River Plant (SRP) on the communities it created, rejuvenated, or displaced, this book explores the parallel militarization and modernization of the Cold War-era South. The SRP, a scientific and industrial complex near Aiken, South Carolina, grew out of a 1950 partnership between the Atomic Energy Commission and the DuPont Corporation and was dedicated to producing materials for the hydrogen bomb. Kari Frederickson shows how the needs of the expanding national security state, in combination with the corporate culture of DuPont, transformed the economy, landscape, social relations, and politics of this corner of the South. In 1950, the area comprising the SRP and its surrounding communities was primarily poor, uneducated, rural, and staunchly Democratic; by the mid-1960s, it boasted the most PhDs per capita in the state and had become increasingly middle class, suburban, and Republican. The SRP's story is notably dramatic; however, Frederickson argues, it is far from unique. The influx of new money, new workers, and new business practices stemming from Cold War-era federal initiatives helped drive the emergence of the Sunbelt. These factors also shaped local race relations. In the case of the SRP, DuPont's deeply conservative ethos blunted opportunities for social change, but it also helped contain the radical white backlash that was so prominent in places like the Mississippi Delta that received less Cold War investment.

Download or read book Savannah River Plant Construction 100 Area History written by and published by . This book was released on 1957 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses five Reactor (100) Areas constructed at SRP. They were designated as 100-C, K, L, P and R.A minimum distance of two miles separated any two of the areas which were laid out in the form of a semi-circle, Each area contained approximately 40 permanent buildings and facilities for a total of 200 buildings for all of the 100 Areas. Construction was started on the R Area first and this was the first area to be completed and accepted by Operations. Construction of the other areas was started and completed in the following sequence: P, L, K and C. The difference in the design and construction of the various facilities in these areas is noted under the individual building discussion on the following pages of this section of the Construction History and also in the du Pont Engineering and Design History. In the series of manufacturing operations the separation of fissionable materials produced in the 100 Areas is accomplished by chemical and physical means in the 200 Areas These are the 200-F and 200-H Areas which have duplicate facilities in the process phase. However, a central laboratory, area shops, laundry, metallurgical and storage magazine buildings were constructed in the 200-F Area only and serve both areas. These activities are also presented in this report.
