The Delaware Emergency Management Agency and the Delaware Division of Public Health will distribute potassium iodide tablets to those living within a ten-mile radius of the Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations.

The free tablets will be handed out on Thursday (April 3rd) at the Middletown Fire Company on West Green Street between 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.

It's available to residents who have received it previously and whose tablets have reached their expiration date, as well as those who never received tablets before.

Anyone outside of the covered area can talk to their pharmacists about obtaining the tablets.
