"Anti-rabbit defenses"?

  Torness has been shut down due to jellyfish, maybe they expect suicide rabbit squads to invade and nibble vital cables? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torness_Nuclear_Power_Station#Shutdown_after_sea-water_intake_blockage_by_jellyfish_.E2.80.93_June_2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torness_Nuclear_Power_Station#S... [NB I carefully avoided making any reference to The Wasp Factory]

  Think radiation leaks. In event of a major incident, you do not want rabbits on site burrowing around and then spreading cesium-137 and other pernicious decay products.

  You'd be surprised where those critters can get and the kind of damage they can cause in their search for some place warm to sleep. A single rabbit making its way into a building's transformer can short the transformer, causing a surge that trips the breakers of every PDU in that building, but not before the building's UPS gets fried.
