Potassium iodide distribution

Posted on May 11, 2010May 13, 2010 by Staff

Chatham County will offer drive-through distribution of potassium iodide tablets to residents living within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone of the Harris Nuclear Power Plant on May 15. The distribution will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 pm at Moncure School, 600 Moncure School Road.

The distribution is part of a joint preparedness planning effort by Chatham, Harnett, Lee and Wake counties. People should not take potassium iodide unless they are directed to do so in an emergency. The doses are being distributed to replace pills residents may currently have on hand that may expire soon or those who did not receive pills in the last distribution.

    “Residents who are not sure if they live within the zone can view a map on Progress Energy’s website”

    The link given does not work and I can’t find it on Progress Energy’s website. Can you all correct it?

    Thanks, Katherine W.
