The Dutch government has ordered 15 million iodine pills to protect people living near nuclear plants in case of an accident as concerns rise over ageing reactors across the border in Belgium.
On Thursday Belgium provided iodine pills to its entire population.
Earlier this year police discovered ISIS were working to breach Belgium’s nuclear security.
Belgian security services learnt in February that two men had been secretly videotaping one of the country’s senior nuclear scientists.
A Dutch health ministry spokesman, Edith Schippers said on Friday iodine pills, which help reduce radiation build-up in the thyroid, would be given to children under 18 and pregnant women living within a 62 miles radius of a plant.
Until now, the tablets have been available within 15 miles of a plant, to everyone aged 40 and under.
