New SRS Lab Opens as Savannah River Center Expands
About 50 employees move into new offices at the Savannah River Site within the Cooperative Research Center on US 278. The Aiken County Technology Laboratory opens officially on Wednesday, with 770 SRS division staff in transition. No classified or radioactive work will be done there. Local officials see long term benefits in high tech research, especially hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, as the Environmental Biotechnology and Waste Technologies Groups relocate to the new lab. The project was announced January 19 and moved quickly to accommodate the two groups.
