Plutonium tests on healthy patients questioned by panel
Government investigators found that 18 civilians injected with radioactive plutonium in the 1940s often were not chronically ill. Some died within months, others lived years, with seven surviving 10 years or more and three living over 30. Documents show researchers did not require illness and sometimes chose nonmalignant patients to model normal metabolism. Subjects were not told details of the experiments.
