Original Title: In 1982, two Brown University researchers were found to have been exposed to radioactive phosphorus. Investigating authorities believe that they were deliberately poisoned. I am not able to do a full writeup on this case, and would like to put this out there to anyone who can.
Hello,
While reading through documents from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the primary federal regulator of radioactive materials in the United States, I came across a case of likely poisoning with a radioactive substance, one which has never been profiled in any modern digital medium, to my knowledge.
I started to do a writeup of this case for this sub, but decided against it. I don't have the time to give this incident the attention it deserves, and would instead like to put out there what I have found so that someone else may tackle it if interested. You can find the document I originally located this case with linked below. This incident is profiled beginning at the bottom of page 421. I will also be posting newspaper articles on the topic to the comments section with the name of the paper and date for reference.
Even if you have no interest in writing on this topic, the document posted has a brief and concise description of the basics of the case, if you would like to learn more.
If you do decide to do a writeup on this, I hope that you will do it respectfully and with quality research.
Thank you for your time.
