The group said it will continue to investigatea series of four thyroid experiments and a nuclearfallout experiment. Task force members refused torule out the possibility that subjects in theseexperiments had suffered health effects.
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.
