Delaware officials will hand out potassium iodide tablets to people living or working near the Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Stations. The distribution takes place April 2nd in Middletown for those within the 10-mile emergency zone.
Delaware emergency officials are preparing to distribute protective medication to residents and workers near nuclear facilities next month.
The Delaware Emergency Management Agency and Delaware Division of Public Health announced they will provide potassium iodide tablets on April 2nd to people who live or work within a 10-mile radius of the Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Stations.
The medication distribution will take place in Middletown and is specifically designed for those residing within the designated Emergency Planning Zone surrounding the nuclear facilities.
Residents can verify whether their location falls within the 10-mile emergency zone by visiting the state’s online mapping tool at gov/epz.
Potassium iodide serves as a protective measure that can help shield the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine in the unlikely event of a nuclear emergency.
