I'm asking this on behalf of a (HP) non-subscriber.  Please respond to me
directly.

Are heart pacemakers powered by Pu-238 still manufactured in the U.S.?
Whether they are or not - are the in use in the U.S.?
When they were/(are) in use - How much Pu-238 is in a pacer unit?

Thanks in advance, as usual.
