A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
Toronto: East end given iodine pills as nuclear disaster precaution –200,000 Greater Toronto Area (GTA) homes and businesses have just received pills to 'protect them' from radiation | 10 Nov 2015 | If you live in Durham Region or Scarborough, you may have just been mailed a package of pills in a calming sky blue box. Those pills are meant to protect you in the event of a nuclear disaster — a disaster on which you would be on the frontlines, living within a sensitive 10km zone surrounding the Pickering and Darlington Nuclear Generating Stations. 200,000 homes and businesses have just received potassium iodide (KI) pills in a $1.5 million OPG-funded project that is being run in conjunction with Durham Region and the City of Toronto. Also known as RadBlock, the pills prevent the thyroid gland from absorbing radioactive iodine, thus reducing the risk of thyroid cancer in the aftermath of a nuclear disaster.
