AIKEN, S.C. - NOVEMBER, 20 2013: Shift manager Michael Novak checks himself for contamination in a radiological detector before leaving the clean work area in the Defense Waste Processing Facility at the old Savannah River Site nuclear weapons plant near Aiken, S.C. The Energy Department began to cure an environmental nightmare at the site in 1996 by opening a factory to turn liquid radioactive wastes into a safer form.
