Key figures
- DOE in South Carolina: $41,429,184,714.34 on 239 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $173.3 million per record—a very thin file.

- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
239 Energy records on an SC tag
Department of Energy as awarding agency, South Carolina as place-of-performance. Two hundred thirty-nine records survive. They add to $41,429,184,714.34. The implied mean is about $173.3 million per award. A site-management vehicle can occupy one row and move the state cell by a large share of the book.
With only 239 rows, a handful of modifications can swing both the dollar total and the mean. Thin files are volatile across ingests. Recheck the overlay after refreshes.
Department of Energy in South Carolina is that overlay. South Carolina federal spending still includes every other awarding agency. All spending ties lists other pairs. Two hundred thirty-nine rows is the thinnest Energy count in this slice. $41,429,184,714.34 can therefore be dominated by a handful of vehicles. Department of Energy in South Carolina should be reread after every ingest; thin files are jumpy.
Unnamed sites and nuclear folklore
Savannah River and other site names are not packet facts. This page does not assign $41,429,184,714.34 to a named reservation. Place-of-performance on Energy awards often follows site coding, and 239 rows can be dominated by a few instruments. Below-state attribution needs another extract.
Cleanup cubic yards, tritium production, and reactor counts are not USAspending fields. $41,429,184,714.34 does not grade those activities. It sums obligations. South Carolina did not cause the cell by hosting a site. The join is 089 × SC. Correlation is not causation. Site names attach easily to South Carolina Energy in ordinary speech. This packet does not name them. Inventing a site share of $41,429,184,714.34 is not a trivial percentage of published facts. South Carolina federal spending still includes every other awarding agency.
