Workers at a site in South Carolina, where parts for nuclear bombs were made, discovered a nest of radioactive wasps with radiation levels 10 times the permitted limit. The nest was removed and disposed of as radioactive waste, with no wasps found. The contamination is considered to be a legacy from the unit's operation, and activists warn the report is incomplete, raising questions about the source of the contamination and potential risks.
