Description

In March 1979, an accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear facility near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, led FDA to arrange emergency provisions of potassium iodide for one million residents to block thyroid uptake in the event of accidental release of radioactive iodine. The medicine never had to be used.
