Is this a "dirty bomb" trial run...?

just askin'...
A hotel in Southern England, which has been tested for the presence of radiation as part of the investigation into the possible poisoning of a Russian spy, is being evacuated, various news sources are reporting.

"Police and Health Protection Agency officers are at the Ashdown Park Hotel at Wych Cross, near Crowborough," The Argus reports.

Italian academic Mario Scaramella, a contact of Litvinenko who met the former KGB spy one month ago in a sushi bar and then later tested positive for radiation, was said to be a guest at the hotel.

Over a dozen sites in Britain have shown traces of radiation, since Litvinenko died Nov. 23 after being exposed to the deadly radioactive toxin polonium-210.

it seems to be getting bigger and nastier by the day, if not by the hour...
