The Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site (SRS) on Monday was responding to a possible security threat after electronic and canine scans of a vendor delivery truck indicated a possibility of explosive residue on the truck. Law enforcement agencies from South Carolina and Georgia found no explosive residue or device on the truck after an investigation, and an all clear was given and the site returned to normal activities at 5:52 p.m., SRS said in a release. Last week, authorities filed DUI charges against a Georgia man who drove through two SRS security gates before his vehicle crashed into a tree and overturned, the Standard reported. The SRS is home to the Savannah River National Laboratory and a number of other facilities that work with nuclear material. H Area houses the H-Canyon Complex, which primarily processes excess highly enriched uranium and research reactor fuel for ultimate use as commercial reactor fuel.
