Łódź Voivodeship conducts radiation preparedness drills

Authorities in the Łódź Voivodeship are conducting practical exercises to test readiness for potential radioactive contamination. The drills, announced by the Łęczyca Municipal Office, focus on verifying the distribution procedures for potassium iodide tablets, which are used to protect the thyroid from radioactive iodine during a nuclear emergency.

The exercises are part of standard defense planning and crisis management protocols and do not indicate an actual radiation threat or an imminent nuclear accident. The drills will also include testing the technical functionality of the public alarm system, specifically a siren located at the Łęczyca Municipal Office.

Local officials emphasized that the activities will be carried out without the participation of residents.
