So Funny.  We always find the radioactivity above background in my shaker of "No Salt" (KCl) during the rad training for instruments...oh my, death literally on a plate.  Call the decon teams, "23-19"!!

         From the NBC article:

"Technicians collected 3,735 soil samples from a corner of the 2,850-acre hilltop lab where most of the testing was done. Of those, they found about 10 percent contained radioactive concentrations exceeding background levels."

         Yep.  Time to panic.  No doubt about it.
