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.
Download or read book Savannah River Plant written by Savannah River Site Museum and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-10 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Savannah River Plant, now known as the Savannah River Site (SRS), served a critical role in providing nuclear materials for national defense during the Cold War. After the Soviet Union successfully detonated an atomic bomb in 1949, the race to develop the hydrogen bomb began with the construction of a tritium and plutonium production plant in rural South Carolina. 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.

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.
