Radioactive wasp nest discovered in US: Routine check findings at Cold War-era nuclear facility; radiation levels 10 times above limit

Routine checks at the Savannah River Site, a former US nuclear weapons facility in South Carolina, revealed a radioactive wasp nest emitting radiation levels ten times higher than regulatory limits. The nest, found near tanks storing liquid nuclear waste, was removed, and officials confirmed no contamination spread, with no impact on workers, the environment, or the public.
