Since I live less than ten miles from Three Mile Island, I got free thyroid radiation pills for the family at school last Friday. We would use thes in case of an attack on TMI that would cause a release of radiation (e.g., if a plane would crash into the reactor). The pills only cover one kind of radiation sickness, so I think it’s more of a PR thing than anything else, but what the heck–the pills were free. I doubt if TMI would be a real terrorist target, but my plan is to motorvate out of here immediately if something ever happened. Simple and (hopefully) effective.
