In the 1980s and 1990s, federal health agencies responded to new revelations about these hazards by pouring millions of dollars into research on the health impacts of radiation. In Tortured Science: Health Studies, Ethics and Nuclear Weapons in the United States , community health activists and researchers reflect on the research program for addressing the health effects of nuclear weapons production at Hanford, WA, Rocky Flats, CO, Livermore Labs, CA, and Fernald, OH. The authors describe conflicts of interest, data suppression, technical inadequacies, and other examples of how researchers failed in their social responsibility to the affected human populations. The research program s health studies did not lead to any meaningful follow-up on the major health concerns of community members, nor have they helped communities seek reparations for high radiation exposures that may h\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTribute \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSteve Wing \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eForeword: Class, Race, and Research on Health Impacts of Nuclear Weapons Production \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCHAPTER 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCommentary on Ethics and Community-Based Research: Responsibility, Precaution, and Transparency\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSheldon Krimsky\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCHAPTER 2\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInsignificant and Invisible: The Human Toll of the Hanford Thyroid Disease Study \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrisha Thompson Pritikin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCHAPTER 3\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Community’s Experience with Environmental Health Research at the Fernald Feed Production Plant \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEdwa Yocum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCHAPTER 4\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDemocracy and Public Health at Rocky Flats: The Examples of Edward A.
