IL - Stupid Headline, Good Info

Potassium iodide pills are available for free for certain IL residents living near nuclear plants.

The pill are not "anti-radiation" pills, they saturate the thyroid with non-radioactive iodine, so that when radioactive iodine is released during certain nuclear plant accidents, it is not absorbed by the thyroid.
