When life imitates RPGs

I'm with unseelie, this just doesn't sound good to me, this sounds like the plot of a B Horror movie.

Not mentioned in that link

but in other articles:

"... the nests, which could number in the thousands ..."

"As for the wasps themselves, they're largely long gone - the insects don't reuse their nests when they colonize each spring."

And with thousands of nests, likely there are millions of hot wasps on the loose. Or since that was 2003-2004... Return of the Revenge of the Sons of Mutant Wasps, or something.

Hmmm, maybe that's what's been wiping out the honey bees.

Also check out the Cleanup Era section below it. Hanford is such a mess wasps are the least of their concerns. Removing 12 inches of topsoil is not going to cure decades of misuse and unknown billions of curies dumped into the water alone. While I'm having trouble confirming it, I wouldn't be surprised if more radiation was released over decades at Hanford than was released in the single act of Chernobyl.
