TL;DR
Workers at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, a former nuclear weapons manufacturing facility, discovered a wasp nest with radiation levels ten times above federal limits. The nest was removed and disposed of as radioactive waste, likely contaminated by residual site radioactivity. Officials assure there is no current leak or danger outside the facility, but watchdog groups call for more transparency about the contamination source and potential risks.
