Maybe we can do a collection and send over a box with DPD?

Leg End Reject

DPD? They'll all have thyroid cancer before they arrive.

Still have mine from 2002. Knew they’d come in handy some day.

I've still mine somewhere, I recall putting them in a safe safe place if we got the warning Sellafield was on the blink.

I remember our family getting them back in the day. We received 4 tablets, but there are 6 people in my family......

It would have been like battle royale if we had had to fight it out for the tablets lol

Well twenty times higher than normal doesnt really give much away, if its usually very low then twenty times higher probably isnt even dangerous

A 40 minute spike to 2 microsieverts per hour then back to the normal 0.11, not high enough to be harmful

Sadly more people have died from their injuries in that accident, the death toll is now 5 people.
