Scientists Reveal Radioactive Isotopes For Medical Uses
The laboratory director explained that carbon and hydrogen isotopes can be produced from reactor neutrons, enabling tracing of organic compounds in animals and identification of breakdown fragments. He noted potential therapeutic roles but cautioned radioactive isotopes alone are not a cure, as research seeks a highly toxic isotope to target malignant cells. An official Groves approved report stated no one was injured by the atomic bomb project hazards.
