Scientists from Harvard and MIT led the thyroidstudies. A Harvard Medical School assistantprofessor and a Harvard researcher conducted thenuclear fallout experiment.
Misilo said he was "particularly horrified" atthe nuclear fallout experiment in which Harvardscientists fed small doses of radioactive iodineto children aged one to 11 at the Wrentham, StateSchool in Wrentham, Mass.
But Richard Krant, a task force member and theparent of a Fernald student, said he thinks thesubjects of the experiment still have a claim.
Calls for compensation may become even louderwhen victims of a 1961 experiment at the WrenthamState School, another Massachusetts institutionfor the retarded, are identified.
In that test, which was organized and run byHarvard researchers, children from ages one to 11were given doses of radioactive iodine. Task forcemembers were strongest in their condemnation ofthat experiment, with some suggesting that thesubjects of the iodine tests likely sufferedhealth problems as a result.
