Quoting: Anonymous-Girl It would be nice if there was documentation that it HAS been done. Someone said above that it has been. No it hasn't been done before it is something new which they stated to me in the letter they mailed to me as well as the pills I got a few weeks later. Was there anything else in the "kit" or just pills? Did they give instructions re: what to do if a disaster happened? The instructions would be in the box which I never bothered opening. I just put it away in the kitchen drawer and forgot about it until I seen this thread. What?! That's crazy. I would have been reading everything they sent. |

Incase of an attack. WOW Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70711430 OMG these are in case of a Nuclear issue with our POWER PLANTS. We have the largest in the world in Central Ontario and 2 larger plants in the GTA. So they've done this before then? I live in Toronto, have relatives here and in Hamilton. I've never heard of anyone getting iodine pills in the mail before. I've also never gotten them. For those living near the plants this was done before, our plants are all CANDU reactors which are the safest in the world and Canadian Technology made right here in Ontario.
