Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments, Final Report, Chapter 12: The Marshallese, U.S. Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments (copy on the U.S. Department of Energy Openness site), 1995.
Primary record
we found no evidence to support the claim that the exposures of the Marshallese, either initially or after resettlement, were motivated by research purposes.
We have found only two examples of research in the Rongelap and Utirik populations that appear to have been nontherapeutic: this research was intended to learn about radiation effects in this population and offered little or no prospect of benefit to the individual subjects.
For the most part, consent for tests and treatment appears to have been neither sought nor obtained.
the Committee believes that the AEC had an ethical imperative to take advantage of the unique opportunity posed by the fallout from Bravo to learn as much as possible about radiation effects in humans.
As best the Advisory Committee can determine, it is carrying out this responsibility well.
