A radioactive rabbit was trapped on the Hanford nuclear reservation, and Washington state health workers have been searching for contaminated rabbit
droppings.
The regional director of the Office of Radiation Protection, Earl Fordham, said Thursday that no contaminated droppings have been found in areas
accessible to the public.
The Tri-City Herald reports that officials suspect the rabbit sipped some water left from the recent demolition of a Cold War-era building used in the
production of nuclear weapons.
The rabbit was trapped in the past week and was highly contaminated with radioactive cesium. It was killed and disposed of as radioactive waste.

NOT of the actual "Bunny" in the article, only a comedic impression there of on my part to perhaps bring some
humor to the story, not that the hunt for radioactive turd pellets wasn't enough.
