The nest, located near underground tanks that store liquid nuclear waste, was immediately sprayed, secured and shipped off as radiological waste, according to a July 22 report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-discovery-sparks-questions-about-safety-near-legacy-nuclear-waste-tanks\">Discovery sparks questions about safety near legacy nuclear waste tanks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SRS radiological-control staff spotted the mud-covered nest during routine surveys near the center of the 310-square-mile reservation. Tests showed radiation far above the \u201ctotal contamination\u201d threshold in federal rules. Nevertheless, DOE stresses that surrounding soil registered no radioactivity and that the incident stems from legacy dust, not a fresh leak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Immediate response at a glance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nest discovered: July 3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Report released: July 22.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peak contamination: &gt;10\u00d7 limit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Action: sprayed, bagged, isolated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Impact on workers\/public: none.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Measurement<\/th><th>Federal limit<\/th><th>Nest reading<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Surface contamination (dpm\/100 cm\u00b2)<\/td><td>1,000<\/td><td>&gt;10,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Officials add that no live wasps were present, yet residents wonder: could other colonies be hiding nearby? Officials insist radiation was contained but watchdogs demand clearer contamination answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Savannah River Mission Completion, the site contractor, says perimeter checks found zero spread and that \u201cno further action\u201d is required. However, watchdog Tom Clements of Savannah River Site Watch is \u201cmad as a hornet,\u201d arguing that DOE has not explained whether tank leaks or wind-blown residue seeded the nest. His group wants more soil cores and a public briefing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-site-s-cold-war-past-still-shapes-today-s-environmental-cleanup-challenges\">Site\u2019s Cold War past still shapes today\u2019s environmental cleanup challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Built in the early 1950s to make plutonium and tritium for nuclear weapons, SRS now stores millions of gallons of high-level waste in 22 carbon-steel tanks that each hold up to 1.3 million gallons.
