radiation-live rock?

i have a weird question. i have 100 pounds of marshall island live rock. i have discovered lately that marshall islands is part of the bikini atoll, where they did nuclear testing in the 1950's..

would rock from that area still have radiation in it that it is emitting? has anyone else ever thought of that?

As long as you don't find a sixteen legged crab in your rock, I think you should be fine.
