Kathryn Higley, a professor of nuclear science and engineering at Oregon State University, said that the discovery of the wasp nests was unlikely to pose a public safety hazard.
Radioactive wasp nests found near nuclear storage site in South Carolina
One of the nests found near the Savannah River Site had a radiation level 10 times what is allowed by federal regulations, according to a federal report.

Elbert started as a computer science major at Oregon State. But one day, she flipped through a booklet of all College of Engineering majors and paused on nuclear engineering.
The hands-on nature of the field sounded engaging, and its potential to mitigate climate change sparked more interest.
