Pennsylvanians living near one of the state's four nuclear power plants will soon have a chance to reup on their supply of potassium iodide, or KI, tablets.distributes the tablets as part of routine preventative efforts in case of future emergencies. They help protect the thyroid gland against harmful radioactive iodine and can be taken by anyone if they are not allergic.
“Ensuring medications on hand are kept up to date is an important part of protecting your health,” said Acting Secretary of Health Dr. Debra Bogen.“Radiological emergencies are rare, but it is important for potentially affected Pennsylvanians to have unexpired tablets on hand.” The tablets are available to all Pennsylvanians who live or work within 10 miles of the state’s four active nuclear power plants: Beaver Valley Power Station; Limerick Generating Station; Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station; and Susquehanna Steam Electric Station.
