    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.
