Summary: Anything that moves near a nuclear weapons plant may be capable of setting off a Geiger counter. And at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation , animals' droppings alone might be enough to trigger alarms.

Response: This article is interesting and informative. It's crazy reading about a government contractor spending a week mapping radioactive rabbit poop with detectors mounted on a helicopter.
