The US Department of Energy has reported the discovery of a radioactive wasp nest at one of its facilities in South Carolina that was once involved in the production of parts for nuclear weapons.

According to a 22 July department report, the contaminated nest was discovered at the facility – the Savannah River site – on 3 July near tanks used to store liquid nuclear waste.

We're not The Champagne Socialist of Islington party! We're the Islington Part of Champagne Socialists!

They're asking people to come up with a name! It's almost as if they've never heard of Boaty McBoatface.
