2026 Savannah River Site Public Tour (SRS)

Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) is inviting 700 members of the public to hop on board one of 21 driving tours of the Savannah River Site (SRS) and two in-depth walking tours featuring the location of the former town of Ellenton.

The SRS general driving tour offers participants the opportunity to step through the legacy of SRS, learning more about the National Nuclear Security Administration’s missions and ongoing programs including the Tritium Mission, Plutonium Processing Mission, Surplus Plutonium Disposition Project and the Legacy Waste Management Program.

“Our tour presents a first-hand opportunity for visitors to learn how their neighbors in the community support the nation,” said Bob Bonnett, Tour Program Coordinator. “These tours are uniquely accessible and provide a glimpse into the future of the Site’s transformative missions.”

Participants will also visit the University of Georgia’s Savannah River Ecology Lab at the end of each tour to learn about the multiple local ecosystems and protections in place for wildlife at SRS.

For an in-depth dive into the history of the Savannah River Site to supplement your Historic Tour, consider planning a visit to the SRS Museum located in downtown Aiken. Admission is free and the museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM.

Each public tour can accommodate up to 34 people. Each historic tour has a limit of 50. All are filled on a first come, first served basis. Participants must be 18 years of age or older and U.S. citizens. Participants must register separately for a tour.

Historic Tours begin at 12 pm and Mission Related Tours begin at 12:30 pm at the badge office.
