Disturbing news. Irradiated OS nest in the former nuclear base
In the state of South Carolina in the USA, a radioactive nest was found. As reported, the permissible standards were exceeded tenfold.
In July this year, a disturbing discovery was made during standard radiation measurements at the base in South Carolina. In the area of reservoirs where radioactive waste is stored from the time of the Cold War, a nest was found. It turned out to be strongly irradiated.
USA. The contaminated OS nest in the former atomic base
In response to the discovery, immediate action was taken. The nest was sprayed with an insecticide and removed, and then utilized in accordance with the principles used for radioactive waste. It was emphasized that no lives were found inside.
The facility operator believes that the media publicized by the media is probably the result of the so -called historical contamination. Waste after the production of components for nuclear bombs from the 1930s still have a lot of influence.
Radioactive nest. Environmentalists concerned about the discovery
The described database is now only used for safe storage of nuclear waste. Old nuclear installations are also gradually eliminated in its area. Ecological organizations have expressed concern about reports from this place.
The Savannah River Site Watch, which was tracking in the base area, pointed out that the official report did not mention the word about how the nest could be contaminated. Her director Tom Clements emphasized that it is not known whether there was a leakage, threatening the environment. He emphasized that people have the right to know if there is no fear of leaks.
