Humans Used for Radiation Experiments: A Shameful Chapter in US History
[…] The military even dumped radiation from planes and spread it across wide areas around and downwind of Oak Ridge, Tenn., Los Alamos, NM, and Dugway, Utah. This “systematic radiation warfare program,” conducted between 1944 and 1961, was kept secret for decades.
“Radiation bombs” thrown from USAF planes intentionally spread radiation “unknown distances” endangering the young and old alike. One such experiment doused Utah with 60 times more radiation than escaped the Three Mile Island accident, according to Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio, who released a report on the program 20 years ago. […]

“….President Clinton, by executive order, created a committee to look into just how extensive the government’s human-irradiating activities had been. The committee’s thousand-page report was released in October 1995, and contained many, many more tidbits on the long, terrible history of the “Human Radiation Experiments”:
Dozens of patients at several hospitals were injected with or fed radioactive material, usually elderly, black or disabled patients. Planes were ordered to fly through radiation clouds from bomb tests just to see how it would affect the crew. Subjects were made to dirty up their hands with radioactive soil to see what, if any, cleaning agents could remove the contamination, and on and on…..”
