The Savannah River Site, a 310-square-mile-site in Aiken, South Carolina, focused on the production of plutonium and tritium for use in the manufacture of nuclear weapons from its inception in the early 1950s until the end of the Cold War. In 1992, the focus at SRS turned to environmental cleanup, nuclear materials management, and research and development activities.

The Savannah River Site (SRS) is rapidly moving from burning fossil fuels to using electricity to power a fleet of nearly 1,000 vehicles, fulfilling a Biden administration executive order.

Officials cut a ribbon in a ceremony celebrating the addition of over 100 zero-emissions vehicles to the Savannah River Site vehicle fleet.
