MIDDLETOWN, Del. (AP) -- Emergency management officials in Delaware say about 1,500 doses of potassium iodide have been distributed to residents who live within 10 miles of the Salem/Hope Creek nuclear power plant in New Jersey.
The pills were distributed Wednesday at the volunteer fire department in Middletown. They can protect the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine, which a plant may release in an emergency.
