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 .Us 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 hip action in persuading President Carter to suppress -the most alarming aspects of that report. Jane Rickover JAKE RICKOVER appeared before me and swore as to the truth of the above statement. Dated at Toronto this 18th day of July AD 1995
