Duke University’s Howard T. Odum and University of Minnesota’s Edwin M Banks propose using chickens to warn of radioactive fallout. When chickens eat contaminated food, strontium shows up in their eggs within hours, enabling rapid survey with a radioactivity counter during fallout events. This idea was presented at the North Carolina Academy of Science meeting at the University of North Carolina.
