Re: Pennsylvania Department of Health to distribute free potassium iodide pills
Has there been any strange recent on-goings in regards to these nuclear plants? I'm interested to know why this specific location - or is this the only town which bothers to half-ass try to help their residents?

Something is obviously going on. This is not normal protocol.
 Quoting: YankeeRose555


Yeah kinda..

The villiages of croton and ossining both give out free pills due to the proximity to Indian point. In westchester this is no big deal..

I think this is quite prudent.

Two things, Bullshit on you because I once lived in Westchester a few years ago and never heard such a thing except around 911 and I was born in PA in the same county of one of the distribution sites for which all my family still lives and this is a first. Don't make light of this situation. There is something to this

The entire county doesn't get the distribution. It's an area limited to an 8 or 10 mile radius around the facility. So cool your jets and stop trying to cause a panic unnecessarily. I for one would be either ringing my relatives, or they'd be ringing me if something were seriously awry, so chillup.

The following information is from the Pennsylvania Department of Health:

"The Department of Health will provide free potassium iodide tablets Thursday, Aug. 8, to Pennsylvanians who live, work or attend school within a 10-mile radius of one of the state’s five nuclear power plants.

Potassium iodide, or KI, can help protect the thyroid gland against harmful radioactive iodine when taken as directed during radiological emergencies. Individuals should only take KI when told to do so by state health officials or the governor.

theyve been doing this since 2009.

2xs in 2010 - the 2nd time press release said it was bc it was for 'new ppl' who moved into area & bought homes.

i was like...bs.....height of foreclosure - who the fucks moving into what?
political correctness is a doctrine.... fostered by a delusional, illogical minority...... and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media; which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Nothing new if you use a search engine using, “nuclear power plants free potassium iodide” you will find that many facilities offer free potassium iodide tablets to residents within a defined distance from a nuclear power plant.

Wow.

So all of us local conspiracy theorists from the 70's who claimed that Thornburgh and Carter were lying out their asses regarding TMI.........were correct after all.

I can't tell you how many people I know from Central PA that I know who have died very early from cancer or who have suffered tremendously from thyroid problems.

Someday the truth will come out regarding TMI.
