WHO: Hanford nuclear reservation

WHAT: The former Washington state nuclear facility once produced two-thirds of the plutonium needed for the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Now, because of contamination, a government contractor is using $300,000 in federal stimulus funds for a GPS-equipped helicopter to locate low-grade radioactive rabbit droppings at Hanford. Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency is deliberately contaminating honeybees at other nuclear sites.
