With potato joe edging us closer to a nuclear situation I've thought about whether it is worth using PI tablets?

What are you all thinking? I am going to order some more water purification tablets to stop giardia. I do think we are in for some extended power outages.

It is still stocked at nuclear plants for emergencies. At $25 a bottle, sure couldn't hurt to have on-hand. Certainly enough for at least 14 days per person. That would cover you for the criical time allowing radiation to drop far enough to prevent acute exposure to high levels of ionizing radiation. It only protects the thyroid gland.

You NEED to find the product with the longest forward Best By Date. I just bought 120 with BB date of 09/30/32

ALSO a few rolls of 6 Mill Visqueen and staples.


ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).

Look at Burkey water filters.it could make a difference. I set us up with these. I've had the tablets for a bit over one year now.

...the thyroid gland and only from radioiodine isotopic exposure through inhalation or injection.

Only short courses of therapy immediately after an incident while coordinating evacuation from areas close to ground zero have real benefit.
