Description/Abstract:
G. T. SEABORG-PLUTONIUM REVISITED. AS PLUTONIUM ACTUALLY BEGAN TO ARRIVE FROM THE CLINTON LABORATORIES IN MILLIGRAM AMOUNTS, I BECAME MORE CLEARLY AWARE OF THE DANGER OF ITS INGESTION INTO THE BODY IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER. "IN ADDITION TO HELPING TO SET UP MEASURES IN HANDLING SO AS TO PREVENT THE OCCURRENCE OF ACCIDENTS, I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT A PROGRAM TO TRACE THE COURSE OF PLUTONIUM IN THE BODY BE INITIATED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IN MY OPINION SUCH A PROGRAM SHOULD HAVE THE VERY HIGHEST PRIORITY."
