人体辐射实验咨询委员会（ACHRE），旨在审查联邦资助的辐射研究中滥用人类受试者的指控，负责确定适当的标准来评估冷战辐射实验的伦理。ACHRE的一个核心问题是确定什么角色，如果有的话,纽伦堡法典在美国医学研究人员的规范和实践中发挥了作用。基于ACHRE的伦理口述历史项目和广泛的档案研究的证据，我们得出的结论是，守则，在它颁布的时候，对从事人体研究的主流医学研究人员影响不大。尽管一些临床研究人员对涉及人类的研究进行提出了质疑，医学界直到20世纪60年代才追求这个问题。
The Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments (ACHRE), established to
review allegations of abuses of human subjects in federally sponsored radiation research, was charged with identifying appropriate standards to evaluate the ethics of cold war radiation experiments. One central question for ACHRE was to determine what role, if any, the Nuremberg Code played in the norms and practices of US medical researchers. Based on the evidence from ACHRE\'s Ethics Oral History Project and extensive archival research, we conclude that the Code, at the time it was promulgated, had little effect on mainstream medical researchers engaged in human subjects research. Although some clinical investigators raised questions about the conduct of research involving human beings, the medical profession did not pursue this issue until the 1960s.
