N.S. SAVANNAH ASSOCIATION

The N.S. Savannah Association's mission is to take whatever action is necessary to preserve and protect the N.S. Savannah, a non-functional one-of-a-kind nuclear cargo-liner ship. Activities include educating the public about the importance and historical significance of the Savannah and undertaking specific limited scope restoration and preservation tasks with the full concurrence of the vessel owner (MARAD). Under no circumstances will this effort involve radioactive materials or locations in the vessel where such radioactive materials exist or are stored. The Savannah has undergone substantial internal and external maintenance and repair, been inspected and painted, and her internal house areas made suitable for office and project support space. This was made by the ship´s owner, the Maritime Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation (MARAD) as part of its decommissioning activities. MARAD has also made a substantial investment in its USNRC licensee technical staff..
