I can not read the article but are you sure the article states it the over round ? Because all Pu based bombs are using Pu239. It is produced when Uranium 238 catches a neutron and first changes into Neptunium 239 and then into Pu239.

Fat Man was such a bomb. Pu 238 is used in RTG because it has only a half live of ca. 88 years and hence a good heat source rather not a good material for a bomb.
 
This appears to be a well-worn conspiracy story, published many times before, resting on a single alleged eyewitness.
 
The more interesting (actual) history is how the side effects of NAZI ideology and a few brave scientists sabotaged their program completely.
