No impact from Savannah River radioactive wasps
The news is abuzz with recent news stories about four radioactive wasp nests found at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site in South Carolina. The site has been undergoing cleanup operations since the 1990s related to the production of plutonium and tritium for defense purposes during the Cold War.

Women in Fusion (WiF) was formed in 2022 as a follow-up action after the 2021 IAEA Fusion Energy Conference, with a vision of making fusion a fully inclusive field and with a focus on gender equity. Improving gender equity in Science and Technology is a critical and growing challenge. In particular, women’s representation in fusion energy is quite low. The estimated range is from 15-20% on a global scale, which is even lower than the average of the S&T field.
Fusion can offer clean, safe, and limitless energy, making it a powerful tool against climate change. Recreating the process that powers the stars depends on mobilizing resources through global partnerships and collaboration. Therefore, we need to ensure that all individuals can contribute to making fusion a reality. WiF aims to ensure that fusion can fully benefit from the perspectives, talent, skills, and intellect of women around the world.
