Abstract: We show that the Riemannian Kerr solutions are the only Riemannian, Ricci-flat and asymptotically flat ${mC}^2$-metrics $g_{muu}$ on a 4-dimensional complete manifold $calM$ of topology ${mR}^{2}imes{mS}^2$ which have (at least) a 1-parameter group of periodic isometries with only isolated fixed points ("nuts") and with orbits of bounded length at infinity.
