Workers at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site near Aiken, S.C. could encounter more traffic in the coming days as perhaps 200,000 people roll into the area for the annual Masters Golf Tournament in neighboring Augusta, Ga.
Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters, is roughly 23 miles or a 35-minute car ride from the Savannah River National Laboratory at the DOE site, according to an Internet search.
The Masters, probably golf’s biggest tournament, is running from now through Sunday.
