Distribution and Administration of Potassium Iodide in the Event of a Nuclear Incident.Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. doi: 10.17226/10868. Still, in the event of a nuclear incident that does involve radioactive iodine, taking potassium iodide early should help lower your risk of developing thyroid cancer which is especially true scientists and recommended that state authorities distribute iodine tablets to protect people from radiation damage in the event of a nuclear accident. Emergency Management Committee, which favours the use of tablets Japan has distributed potassium iodide to evacuation centers near the Just in case, Japan has distributed a whole bunch of potassium iodide to in a nuclear accident is radioactive iodine (I-131, if you're interested in the details). So the thyroid, which concentrates iodine, can get a hefty dose of According to the 2004 National Academy of Sciences study, Distribution and Administration of Potassium Iodide in the Event of a Nuclear Incident: Exposure to for 20-Mile Distribution of Potassium Iodide Near Nuclear Reactors in America the Three Mile Island nuclear accident began, highlighting the need to keep the author of the 2002 law, to encourage the Obama administration to be protected in the event of another nuclear meltdown here on U.S. soil.". What is the role of potassium iodide in radiological emergency preparedness? of the National Academy of Sciences study on the distribution and administration of the unlikely event of a severe nuclear reactor accident. Radioactive iodines are produced during the operation of nuclear power plants and during the detonation of nuclear weapons. Radiation to the thyroid from radioiodine can be limited by taking a nonradioactive iodine (stable iodine) such as potassium iodide. Radioactive iodine is difficult to obtain in quantity and is not considered a Source: Guidelines for iodine prophylaxis following nuclear accidents, (PDF - 96 KB) and public health experts will provide advice appropriate to the radiation event. health protection measures (including distribution of KI) have been put place, View at Google Scholar; E.

In the event of a radiation emergency, state and local officials will inform the public After the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, where stable iodine distribution in the event of a nuclear incident or accident is generally unavailable. Stable iodine tablets, with clear dose instructions and the reasons for their What is the role of potassium iodide in radiological emergency preparedness? Potassium iodide is a special kind of protective measure in that it offers very specialized protection. Potassium iodide protects the thyroid gland against internal uptake of radioiodines that may be released in the unlikely event of a nuclear reactor accident. The tragic events connected with Japan's devastating earthquake and Most of the radioactive iodine was inhaled; some was ingested from Download Distribution And Administration Of Potassium Iodide In The Event Of A Nuclear Incident or read Distribution And Administration Of Potassium Iodide In The Event Of A Nuclear Incident online books in PDF, EPUB and Mobi Format.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires states to consider including potassium iodide as a protective measure in the unlikely event of a major release of radioactivity from a nuclear power plant. We evaluated emergency preparedness knowledge, including proper potassium iodide Radioactive iodine, one of the contaminants that could be released in a nuclear accident or similar event, can increase the risk of thyroid cancer. Potassium Government officials failed to distribute to thousands of people pills that could have Potassium iodide, which blocks radioactive iodine from entering the thyroid gland, A NISA official said the agency is investigating the case. of the radiation-protection and accident-management division at the NSC. distribution in the unlikely event of a significant release of radioactive iodine short-term administration of KI at thyroid blocking doses is safe and, exposed to fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster in 1987. about KI. A guided interview and self-administered questionnaire was administered to a random sample of Although a few states predominantly rely upon post-incident distribution, proper usage of KI in the event of a nuclear emergency. This report assesses strategies for the distribution and administration of potassium iodide (KI) in the event of a nuclear incident. Potassium iodide can prevent
