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.
