Putnam County, NY to distribute KI radiation pills

Residents who live within 10 miles of the Indian Point Power Plant will be given pills

Details:

The Putnam County Bureau of Emergency Services will distribute potassium chloride pills this month to residents of Philipstown, Putnam Valley and Carmel who live within a 10-mile radius of the Indian Point nuclear power plant.

Pills will be distributed April 4 from 2 to 7 p.m. in the lobby of Putnam Valley Town Hall; April 12 from 2 to 7 p.m. at Carmel Town Hall; and April 17 from 2 to 7 p.m. at the Philipstown VFW Hall. Also, pills are available at the Bureau of Emergency Services, 112 Old Route 6, Carmel, or by calling 845-808-4000.

Keep in mind that KI radiation pills protect only the thyroid gland, so they are a partial fix at best.
