Iodine Tablets distributed in France
Posted: 19th September 2024
New iodine tablets for communes near French nuclear power sites. The tablets are distributed for use in the event of an emergency, but some say the scheme does not go far enough. New iodine tablets are to be distributed again to people living in French communes near nuclear power station sites, after authorities renewed the campaign. Since September 15, residents living or people working within a 10 km radius of the Penly and Paluel nuclear power plants (Seine-Maritime, Normandy) have been receiving new free iodine tablets to use in the event of a nuclear plant accident. Pharmacies are now able to distribute the tablets. The tablets can also be collected and dispensed by public establishments to make it easier for residents to get hold of them (if they are not able to get to a pharmacy).
