AIKEN -- The Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site removed two exhaust stacks Saturday from the Site’s P & R reactors, according to a news release.
With less than 40 pounds of dynamite and in a matter of seconds, the two 145-foot tall, 700-ton stacks that have towered over the P and R Reactors for more than 50 years came down.
The demolition is part of an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act project that is decommissioning the two Cold War era reactors.
