"Bechtel Hanford is tackling radioactive mud dauber wasps nests of Hanford's H Reactor complex, while trying to entice the insects to use nonradioactive mud for their homes.
Workers have found many slightly contaminated nests in the nooks and crannies of the H Reactor complex next to the Columbia River.
Female mud dauber wasps pick up mud to create tiny tube-like nests bunched next to each other like tiny pipe organs beneath the eaves of buildings.
At H Reactor, these 1à2- to 3à4-inch-long wasps are picking up their mud from the complex's contaminated spent nuclear fuel basin."
