The human plutonium injection experiments carried out during and after
the Manhattan Project have received tremendous notoriety in the past
year or so owing to the Pulitzer-prize winning journalism of Eileen
Welsome in the Albuquerque Tribune in 1993.

At that time, even before the demonstration of a chain reaction at Chicago, plans were already being made for construction of larger reactors to produce plutonium in the kilogram quantities needed for weapons. A pilot reactor would be built in Clinton, Tennessee, and production reactors would be built at the Hanford Engineer Works, a site in southern Washington adjacent to the Columbia River. The Clinton and Hanford facilities would also perform chemical separation of “product” (plutonium) from the reactor fuel pellets; Clinton would develop the process, Hanford would use it on a large scale with automated state-of-the-art facilities.
