"In May 1983, my father-in-low... told me that, at the time of the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor accident, a full report was commissioned by President Jimmy Carter. [Rickover] 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... to persuade [Carter] 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... to suppress the most alarming aspects of that report."
