Is it really radioactive? More than other buildings?

This was home of the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory where they studied the effects of the Bikini Atolls nuclear testing, also known as building 351, for which Telstar Logistics has so kindly provided us the following info: Radionuclides of Concern: Cs-137, Ra-226, Sr-90, and Th-232. Contamination Potential: Likely. In short answer to your question: yes, but it probably won't kill, at least until I'm a bit older.

might come in handy if you sprout an extra finger or arm. Great pic, btw.
