More precisely, weapons-grade plutonium is obtained from uranium irradiated to a low burnup.
After the report was released, President Ronald Reagan and Vice-President George H. W. Bush resisted opening investigations of the radiation experiments. [6] [7] The Markey report found that between 1945 and 1947, eighteen hospital patients were injected with plutonium. The doctors selected patients likely to die in the near future.
