Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments
ID: advisory-committee-on-human-radiation-experiments
The Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments was established in 1994 by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) to investigate and evaluate the ethical and scientific dimensions of human radiation research conducted by the U.S. government during the Cold War. This research often involved exposing individuals (including vulnerable populations) to ionizing radiation without their informed consent, raising significant ethical concerns.
