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.

Charleston, South Carolina
The claim: Naval Reserve & Air Force base, restricted area on
naval base.
What it really is: The actual name of it is called Joint Base Charleston, and there is no Naval Reserve there.
Most military bases have restricted areas not open to the public. This one would be no exception, especially considering that the Air Mobility Command (AMC), the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command (NNPTC) Southern Division, and the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) are all located there.

Greenville, South Carolina
The claim: Unoccupied youth prison camp; total capacity
unknown.
What it really is: I can't actually find a youth prison camp there. There is the Greenville County Juvenile Detention Center, which is still occupied.
