"In May, 1983, my father-in-law, Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, told me that at the time of the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor accident, a full report was commissioned by President Jimmy Carter. He [my father-in-law] said that the report, if published in its entirety, would have destroyed the civilian nuclear power industry because the accident at Three Mile Island was infinitely more dangerous than was ever made public. He told me that he had used his enormous personal influence with President Carter to persuade him to publish the report only in a highly "diluted" form. The President himself had originally wished the full report to be made public.

In November, 1985, my father-in-law told me that he had come to deeply regret his action in persuading President Carter to suppress the most alarming aspects of that report."

Bill Smirnow, of Peace/No-Nukes, recently spoke with Robert Rickover, the Admiral's son, who verified the authenticity of his father's statement and the validity of his ex-wife, Jane's, notarized statement.

The Nuclear Information Resource Service (Tel 202-328-0002, Fax 202-462-2183] has also verified its authenticity.

Peace/No-Nukes urges readers to:

1. Call your Congressional Representative [or better yet, arrange a face to face meeting] at: 202-224-3121 to reach any/all Congressmen/women and ask that they obtain 2 FULL copies of President Carter's 1979 report - not the partial report that was released to the public-mailing one to you and making their copy PUBLIC through a news conference! Also, read them [and supply them with copies of Jane Rickover's notarized statement] this notarized statement by Jane Rickover.

2. Once both you and your Congressional Rep. have a copy of the report, tell them that you want them to BOTH hold a news conference with as many of their colleagues as possible exposing the Carter/Rickover FULL statement of the effects of TMI and demand that they introduce legislation to shut down the commercial nuke industry.

WE CAN PUT A FATAL STAKE THROUGH THE HEART OF THE COMMERCIAL NUKE INDUSTRY!!!

A report known as "CRAC-2" [CRAC standing for Calculation of Reactor Accident Casualties] which was done by Sandia National Labs [lovers of things nuclear] at the behest of the NRC, looks at every commercial nuclear reactor in the U.S.A. and reports on what would happen in case of a Class-9 meltdown, the worst kind of meltdown there is. "CRAC-2" [copies of which are available through your congressional reps or through NIRS] establishes 4 categories relevant to this meltdown.

• "SCALED PEAK EARLY FATALITY ESTIMATE,"
• "SCALED PEAK EARLY INJURY ESTIMATE,"
• "SCALED PEAK CANCER DEATHS ESTIMATE,"
• "SCALED PEAK COSTS."

This covers EVERY commercial reactor in the U.S.A. Congress published the report November 1, 1982. "The Washington Post" printed this report on Monday, November 1, 1982.

Following is Sandia National Lab's "CRAC-2" report, commissioned by the NRC, description of the 2 reactors at Indian Point, approximately 30 miles from New York City.

INDIAN POINT UNIT#2:

"PEAK EARLY INJURIES"	141,000
"PEAK EARLY FATALITIES"	46,000
"PEAK CANCER DEATHS"	13,000
"PEAK COSTS"	$274 BILLION

INDIAN POINT UNIT#3:

"PEAK EARLY INJURIES"	167,000
"PEAK EARLY FATALITIES"	50,000
"PEAK CANCER DEATHS"	14,000
"PEAK COSTS"	$314 BILLION

Please call your congressional representative at: 202-224-3121 and DEMAND that they get 2 COMPLETE copies of President Carter's suppressed 1979 report. One should be mailed to you, the other your representative should get and together with other representatives, hold a news conference disclosing the FULL contents of this report to the American public and calling for an immediate shut down of the commercial nuclear industry.

They should get a copy of the 1982 NRC commissioned, Sandia Labs conducted "CRAC-2" report, using this as further "self-damning" evidence of the nuke industry in the news conference.
