DESCRIPTION
The
records were created or collected by AEC staff during the 1974 investigation
of the plutonium injections. They document information on persons who were
injected with plutonium between 1945 and 1947 and provide information on
the measurement of the plutonium excretion rate and the plutonium body
content of several subjects by the staff of Argonne National Laboratory
many years after injection. The files also contain medical information
relating to health status at the time of injection, medical status at the
time of measurement in the mid 1970s, and death certificates for those
deceased. They contain documentation relevant to the 1972 1974 search and
contact efforts, and to the scientific investigations conducted as part
of the Argonne National Laboratory follow-up efforts. The follow-up studies
focused on three persons who were alive in the 1970s and four persons who
had died. For the living subjects the purpose was to determine the excretion
rate long after injection. For the decreased subjects, the purpose was
to determine the amount of plutonium retained by the body at the time of
death and to evaluate the degree to which the plutonium had redistributed
within the skeleton. The files contain original records created by AEC/division
and Argonne staff, ANL's copies of records created by others before Argonne's
follow-up studies. The series consists of patient records, letters, memorandums,
reports, handwritten notes, and charts. No index is available. Collection
