Boom! - Dropped back on the Gen-Pop feed (reissued for a limited time) from almost 7 years ago, here comes another vintage DHP episode! This one was about the US government's horrific radiation experiments on human test subjects in the mid-20th century. Join CJ as he discusses: The Nuremberg Code, and its relevance to these experiments The first experiments carried out by Manhattan Project doctors between 1945 and 1947, including one on a 4-year-old Australian boy dying of cancer The creation of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), and how they created experimental guidelines similar to the Nuremberg Code, which unfortunately they had no problem ignoring Over 800 pregnant women in Nashville who were given ‘cocktails' containing radioactive elements in the late-1940s & early-1950s Boys at the Walter E. Fernald State School for the mentally disabled who were given radioactive milk and oatmeal courtesy of MIT scientists & the Quaker Oats company Prisoners in Oregon and Washington who had their testicles dosed with massive amounts of radiation in return for cash How this all really started to come to light in the 1990s due to investigations by Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary and a committee set up by President Clinton to investigate these experiments The less-than-satisfying conclusion of those investigations External Links Interview with Eileen Welsome, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist & author of The Plutonium Files President Clinton's remarks from October 1995 regarding these experiments Support the Dangerous History Podcast via Patreon, SubscribeStar, or Bitbacker.

The Walter E. Fernald Developmental Center has a very dark past.  A past shaded with sinister and unethical experimentation on developmentally disabled children.  From eugenics to feeding children cereals laced with radioactive isotopes. Life inside the Fernald was not one of rehabilitation or care that it should have been.  Today, the campus sits abandoned, a quiet and lonely reminder of a time that many would rather forget.  But do the dark shadows of the past still linger in the halls of countless buildings that slowly rot away on this seemingly cursed plot of land?  Today we learn about Fernald's Spirits as we talk with paranormal investigator Nick Graves. PART 2 - AVAILABLE TO GRAVE KEEPERS ONLY - LISTEN HERE (http://www.patreon.com/thegravetalks) In part two of our interview, available only to Grave Keepers (http://www.patreon.com/thegravetalks) , we discuss: What is Nick found in the church on the Fernald property that seems to have evil intent? Are there negative entities that reside on the campus of this facility? Is it possible to confuse a negative entity for a confused entity that still suffers from their disabilities even in the afterlife? Do the former residents haunt this facility or the spirts who linger "things" that feed off former residents' pain and anguish? Why would conscious spirits choose to reside there still for a location with such dark history?  Or do they have a choice? What are the campus's status and its buildings today, and what does the future hold for it?
