We analyze the properties of solutions of the relativistic Thomas-Fermi equation for globally neutral cores with radius of the order of R~10 Km, at constant densities around the nuclear density. By using numerical tecniques as well as well tested analytic procedures developed in the study of heavy ions, we confirm the existence of an electric field close to the critical value Ec = me2c3/eℏ in a shell ΔR~l04ℏ/mπc near the core surface. For a core of ~10 Km the difference in binding energy reaches 1049 ergs. These results can be of interest for the understanding of very heavy nuclei as well as physics of neutron stars, their formation processes and further gravitational collapse to a black hole.
