  More Revelations on TMI
  Below is a letter to Dr. Rosalie Bertell from
Paul Blanche,
  a noble whistlebower who concurs with Dr.
Bertell's
  summation of what really happend at Three Mile
Island in 1979.

  Dr. Bertell:

  You don't know me but may have read about me in
the Time magazine cover story in February 1996 and
also the front page of the Wall Street Journal in
March 1998. I am a prominent whistleblower who
uncovered major corruption within the NRC and my
employer Northeast Utilities. As a result of
events I uncovered at Millstone, Northeast
Utilities was almost bankrupted, and the NRC
extremely embarrassed.

  I was one of the expert witnesses at the TMI
litigation and agree with you there was a major
cover-up of vital information. The presidential
commissions, the NRC and the DOE are all aware of
this cover-up. As an expert witness, I had access
to the all the original records. I have documented
evidence, which I have given to the NRC, that the
primary containment was breached shortly after the
hydrogen explosion that occurred on March 30,
1979.

  This breach occurred at a time when the
radioactivity in the containment was close to its
peak. Preliminary estimates indicate that as many
as 40 million curies may have been released during
the following hours. The NRC and the licensee
estimated the maximum of 10 million curies of
releases.

  Not one of the studies ever even questioned the
data that was readily available as it could have
alarmed members of the general public. Contact me
if you have any questions.
