Belgium Iodine Pill Distribution, Nuclear Safety Concerns
The Belgian government has announced plans to distribute iodine pills to all 11 million citizens to protect against radiation in the event of a nuclear accident. This measure expands the previous 20-kilometer safety radius to 100 kilometers, covering the entire country. The decision follows reports of defects in older reactors and heightened concerns regarding potential terrorist threats to nuclear infrastructure.
