Leaving a scalpel in the patient

Here's the relevant section, as it appears online:

Stephenson said the uranium threat was discovered in March 2018 by the teenage son of a park employee who happened to be a Geiger counter enthusiast, and brought a device to the museum collection room.

Workers immediately moved the buckets to another location in the building, he said, but nothing else was done.

I can go either way on the question at hand. There's a case to be made that most people who get 18 grafs into a story about uranium and radiation know what a Geiger counter is. But whichever way you go, do try to resolve your editing disputes before they go public. This known as leaving a scalpel in the patient, and editors caution against doing it because it looks so awful on the (wait for it) X-rays.
