Radiation

NPR
Published November 18, 1996 at 11:00 PM CST

Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary announced in New York today the details of a $4.8 million settlement for victims of radiation experiments. The experiments were conducted during the Cold War, without the appropriate informed consent of the participants. It is hoped the settlement will restore confidence in biomedical research...confidence that was tarnished by these experiments. NPR's Margot Adler reports.
