CONSTRUCTION OF THE N.S. SAVANNAH (NSS) BEGAN WITH A CEREMONY ON MARITIME DAY IN 1958.
MAMIE EISENHOWER CHRISTENED THE SHIP IN 1959 AND BY EARLY 1962 THE SHIP WAS AT SEA.

By 1970, the NSS achieved its objectives and the project ended. Savannah sailed 454,675 miles on 163 pounds of uranium; if it had been oil-fired, Savannah would have burned nearly 29 million gallons of fuel.

Just shows how amazing nuclear energy can be and a viable source of energy to replace fossil fuels
