Summary

Description The Gun Sites are some of the few remaining indications of a military presence on Site. Antiaircraft personnel manned the Savannah River Plant from 1955 until 1960, although there is no record of any threat of air attack. There were two rings of gun sites. The guns at the outermost ring pivoted 360 degrees and the guns nearer to the facilities only pivoted 180 degrees, so they couldn’t fire and hit the buildings. By 1958 these gun sites were abandoned.
