Plutonium patient kept secret to grave mystery
In 1946 John Mousse, an Addison's disease patient in Rochester, learned he was part of a top secret Manhattan Project plutonium injection study. He and other Rochester participants were not told the purpose or risks. The 18 patients were believed to be terminally ill, with the last dying in 1992. Authorities say doctors did not inform them, and survivors urge full disclosure.
