RICHLAND, Wash. —
After catching a radioactive rabbit on the Hanford nuclear reservation, cleanup workers are now hunting for a radioactive mouse.

The Tri-City Herald reports radioactive mouse droppings have been found in the same area where the radioactive rabbit droppings were found earlier this month north of Richland.

The radioactive rabbit was killed and disposed of as radioactive waste.

Officials believe the animals ate or drank cesium at a Hanford site.
