Savannah River Site, South Carolina

The claim: Aiken, 198,400

What it really is: The Savannah River Site is a nuclear reservation that is owned by the Department of Energy.

The site was built in the 1950's for the refinement of nuclear materials in nuclear weapons, but none of the site's reactors are currently operating.

The facility itself has been the site of major clean up operations.
