Thousands of jobs tied to new Savannah River Site nuclear project
Savannah River Site is beginning full-scale construction on a new $23.5 billion facility to manufacture triggers for nuclear weapons and create thousands of jobs. The National Nuclear Security Administration recently granted its approval for SRS to complete its Savannah River Plutonium Processing Facility, according to the site's day-to-day operations contractor, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions.

The government has said that the project is important for maintaining the nation's nuclear deterrent , to discourage other countries from attacking the United States.
