in Washington State we have this problem near Hanford. The radio active particles are in the dirt and the wasps make nests or use the top layers of soil to make their hives and they bring those radioactive particles with them
we even have radioactive rabbits that cause the same kind of problems.
would be nice if the feds, who created this problem, would finance an actual clean up but I suspect it will take Mother Nature doing it over the next thousands of years
