Marcus lied. Even Chris "Wouldn't it be kewl" Avellone agrees with that in the Fallout Bible.

but is it still possible if they did reaserch, they could find a way to make them steril. for ghouls they have next to nothing chance but supermutants may be another story.....

How about we skip those and go straight to concentration camps. Gas 'em all, I say.

hahaha, how bout isnstead of skipping them, so just at the brink of discovery, they find how to steralize themselves, then you take them all and then gas them!!!!!

i was wondering, would it be possible to have a super ghoul?(supermutant badly radiated but still survived so it is like a ghoul in a way?)

Regardless of the fact that Van Buren seems to have planned "born Ghouls," the idea of reproductive ghouls is illogical on many levels.

Firstly, everyone agrees Ghouls were exposed to massive amounts of radiation. That would cause sterility.

Secondly, some would argue that Ghouls were also altered by FEV, which also causes sterility.

Thirdly, most Ghouls' skin, if any remains at all, is barely hanging on. This negates any functional sexual organs. (Contrary to popular terminology the boner is not bony.)

Well, the Van Buren born ghouls weren't born in a natual way, but were a result of cruel experiments on humans:

As for Tactics, even there there is no "mutant factory", but only a laboratory where super mutant scientists work on a cure to their sterility. And even if it were canon, and even if they were succesful, their results were destroyed by the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel.
