<HTML>Woody:

Try to get the paperback titled "K-19: THE WIDOWMAKER" by Peter Huchthausen
CAPTAIN USN (RET) published by National Geographic -( first printing) 2002. He interviewed Captain Nilolai Zateyev before he died in 1998. It's available at amazon.com........This will give you the answers you're looking for.

An article "VOYAGE OF HORROR" appeared in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on
Friday, August 20, 1993, Written by Matt Bivens, these are a few excerpts:

"Zateyev said that a TV documentary was filmed two years ago (1991), but officials
deemed it too upsetting to be shown. Before the Soviet Union's breakup, K-19's
fate was a closely guarded secret. Western specialists heard rumors but no details until 1991, when PRAVDA finally confirmed that radiation had killed many of the sub's crew. In the reactor room, the temperatue reached at least 140 degrees. (The guage went no higher) He also said that the ship was carrying three nuclear warheads and would have poisoned the sea with radiation had the reactor burst.
They were ordered not to discuss what had happened, and their medical histories were falsified. Doctors wrote that they had "damage to the peripheral nervous system.''

Later,
