Ellenton Heritage Trail marks the town’s displaced past
Ellenton residents recall a 1950 notice ordering moves for a government project that spurred hydrogen bomb work at the Savannah River Site. The Ellenton Heritage Trail, opened after a ribbon cutting, preserves about 1.5 miles of original downtown streets across nearly 6 acres. Local families like Clarence and Mary Bush recalled the upheaval as part of SRS history, with involvement from the Forest Service and Energy Department among others. The Nov. 28, 1950 takeover affected Barnwell, Aiken and Allendale counties including Dunbarton Ellenton Hawthorne Leigh Myers Mill and Robbins.

Haley opposes South Carolina hosting spent nuclear fuel
South Carolina Governor Haley and her office say the state will not participate in voluntary interim storage of spent nuclear fuel. The stance comes as the DOE expands a consent-based search for sites to temporarily house high-level radioactive waste and fuel rods, potentially shifting away from Yucca Mountain. New Mexico and Texas show interest, with Gov Susana Martinez citing regional support and the need for interim storage.
