Compensation urged for experiment victims
Energy Secretary Hazel O Leary said radiation exposure victims from federally funded experiments deserve compensation. She pledged to gather government documents and let Congress and the public decide on appropriate remedies, noting up to 800 people might have been involved in 1940s and 50s tests. Some cases seek damages, while others cannot sue due to statutes of limitations. A 1950 memo urged using chimpanzees to avoid Nazi comparisons.
