ALT For more than 70 years, the federal reservation known as the Savannah River Site has proudly served the nation Born in the midst of Cold War secrecy, the Savannah River Site (SRS) has always operated safely and efficiently to execute its missions. During the Cold War, it produced one third of the nation’s weapons-grade plutonium and all of the nation’s tritium—both integral components of nuclear weapons. When the Cold War ended, the United States no longer needed the amounts of new nuclear materials as before and a new focus began—on cleaning up the Cold War legacy and downsizing the nation’s nuclear complex. Other nuclear sites across the nation were closed down, and their materials were sent to South Carolina for safekeeping because of SRS’ security excellence and unparalleled history of safety performance. Now SRS, and a handful of other sites, have became the bedrock of the United States’ nuclear future.

ALT CBC, The Dose podcast transcript at minute 21: Dr. Goldman: You didn't mention coughing into your sleeve. Dr. Saxinger: Oh yeah, implicit. I think that's a good thing to remind people of though. And you know I think cough hygiene has improved a lot and I still do see people coughing into their sleeve. Here's a nice little wrinkle on that though. If you have a mask on, people often think they should turn away to cough or sneeze but you should actually stay facing forward when you cough or sneeze. So you should basically aim at people because what happens is most of the material that you expel will go out the side of the mask and so turning your head means that it's going to go towards the person that you're facing. That's a weird one but you see it happen a lot. Dr. Goldman: Well you learn something new, I mean I should have known that, that seems very logical but thank you for teaching it to me and to everybody listening to this.
