Radioactive rabbit trapped, killed at nuclear reservation


RICHLAND, Wash. — 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 reported 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.

I wonder if you would get rabbit powers if he bit you? Which rabbit powers would you want?

^I'd like to be able to move my nose 90,000 times/minute for 12 hours a day without it draining my body energy.. Whatever power source is responsible for that would be useful in some way.. not sure for what exactly, but it must be.

Finding an Atomic Bunny is easy. Just look for his rabbit burrow.

If a rabbit can become that contaminated by "sipping" some water from the building, I hate to see what is seeping into the ground water :eek:

Nothing to worry about ground water that site is on the Columbia River. :eek:

I have done some work at Hanford and didn't like it!
