Nuclear Rabbit Droppings found in Pacific Northwest

A mission is to seek and destroy the radioactive rabbit droppings which have been noticed in a reasonably large area around a closed down nuclear waste site in Washington State is currently underway.

Though it sounds like a plot of bad science fiction, federal government paid Nuclear Researchers have been required to locate and destroying substantial amounts of radioactive rabbit pooh recently discovered.

Government employees have discovered the radioactive rabbit droppings littered around the decommissioned nuclear facility in Washington State. In the spring this year they flew a helicopter above nearly 16 square miles of land looking for the radioactive droppings.

The poo which is the result of rabbits eating radioactive salts found in underground burrows dug near buried nuclear waste . The researchers have flown in a helicopter equipped with a radiation detector, when looking for the rabbit stools so that they can be collected.

The waste site contains over 50 million gallons of nuclear waste from the 50 and 60\’s plutonium production which have been stored in a 13 square mile area in large storage tanks from the cold war era. The tanks also had radioactive cesium and strontium salts within them which apparently are very tasty snacks for rabbits.

We have to wonder how many mutant bunnies or five eared rabbits are hoping in the wild in the area. Decades spent licking the radioactive salts can\’t be healthy for the local rabbit population.

Seriously one must wonder why the trouble is being taken to clear the rabbit\’s droppings, but no effective effort seems to be taken to deal with the rabbits making the droppings.

These rabbits are a significant part of the food chain, so if the rabbits are radioactive we can expect a knock on effect upon any birds of prey and larger predators in hunting the area? We also must consider if rabbits have been effected in this way what the effect is on other small animals, the food chain as a whole and the local water table?
