A wasp nest contaminated with radioactive material—ten times above federal safety limits—was discovered at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, a former US nuclear weapons facility.

Found near a tank during routine monitoring on July 3, the nest was removed and classified as legacy contamination, with no ground pollution or operational impact reported.

While officials deemed no further action necessary, watchdog group Savannah River Site Watch criticised the Department of Energy for failing to explain the source of the contamination, raising concerns about potential undetected leaks from waste tanks at the decades-old site.

  1. So… does this mean that IF I am stung by one of these toxic, radioactive wasps, that I will then become another ridiculous Marvel Comic ‘Hero’ known as…(wait for it….wait for it…) …WASPMAN???
    Imagine living in that area, and being pumped-up with Covid vaccines and boosters, and you’re exposed to radioactive contaminants which have changed your biology into that of a spiked protein non-God DNA via mRNA ans soon saRNA injections…
    I can only imagine that the honeybees are pissed off…honey that glows in the dark!
