The Davis-Besse pill

[Diane Monaco]

Residents within a 10 mile radius of the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant, 
that was operating with a rust hole the size of a baseball on the top of 
its reactor, will now receive potassium iodide pills from the NRC to 
protect themselves from thyroid cancer in the event of a nuclear fallout.

Now I think the NRC, who have been reluctant to use the pill in the past 
because it could provide a "false sense of security and impede an 
evacuation", has it all wrong.  It's not the pill that provides a "false 
sense of security" [NRC's words], rather it's the NRC's ability to regulate 
that provides a "false sense of security" [Diane's words] -- and no sort of 
pill can alleviate this problem.

KEEP DAVIS-BESSE SHUT DOWN!!!
