Bizarre News item: Biological "web" on nuclear waste?

Mysterious found growing on nuclear waste

So, apparently there's a nuclear waste plant in South Carolina that has found some kind of web-like structure growing on nuclear waste - and..

"According to a report filed by the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, "the growth, which resembles a spider web, has yet to be characterized, but may be biological in nature.""

Is this viral marketing for a horror novel? a movie? Real-life nuclear biological web horror?

Re: Bizarre News item: Biological "web" on nuclear waste?

James Blish's 1953 story "Battle of the Unborn" (reprinted as "Struggle in the Womb") loosely resembles this scenario. Strange "webs" mysteriously insinuate their way into a building, causing consternation. The post-atomic setting suggests radiation as a cause. Who is who after the Bomb? , , and !

"What does it mean to be alive except to court disaster and suffering at every moment?"

Tibet: Carnivals?
Ligotti: Ceremonies for initiating children into the cult of the sinister.
Tibet: Gas stations?
Ligotti: Nothing to say about gas stations as such, although I've always responded to the smell of gasoline as if it were a kind of perfume.
