Schools will be encouraged to evacuate at site area emergency if plant conditions warrant such action so there is little chance that children will be exposed to radioactive iodine. KI is pre-distributed to schools in packets of baggies, each having an FDA-approved label, containing two 130 mg tablets.

Because the thyroid will rapidly absorb any iodine that is in the body, people may need to take KI tablets soon after a nuclear incident that releases radioactive iodine into the air. The stable, non-radioactive iodine in the KI pill will load up the thyroid gland so that there is no space left for the radioactive iodine …

Radiation is thought to cause a slight increase in the risk of developing cancer. However, this has not been observed for normal radioactive iodine treatments of thyrotoxicosis. Radioactive iodine can cause neck discomfort, temporary loss of taste, nausea, stomach pain, and rarely a reduction in function of the salivary glands (dry mouth).

The radiation emitted from the iodine-131 could cause cancer of the thyroid. In Japan, people likely to be drinking water contaminated with iodine-131 were advised to take tablets containing a non-radioactive isotope of iodine.

Chernobyl was a storm—endemic iodine deficiency, patchy distribution of iodine tablets, and inability to quarantine dairy products (cows eat 131-contaminated grass, children drink lots of milk). Contrast this with the Fukushima NPF accident, where we quarantined milk.

Potassium iodine tablets, if taken early enough, offer an effective protection against absorption of radioactive iodine in the thyroid and thereby against thyroid cancer. So, stocking these tablets represents an important radiation protection measure.

The problem, as I understand it, is that the thyroid gland will use any iodine that is in a person’s bloodstream and cannot tell the difference between radioactive and non-radioactive forms of iodine. If radioactive iodine is absorbed, energy in the form of radiation is …

(Stable) Iodine works by saturating the uptake mechanism in the thyroid gland and “competes” with radioactive iodine (I-131). Early administration of radionuclear antidotes is the key element for successful therapy. Iodine is a thyroid blocking agent.

In such cases the thyroid is the organ most at risk and stable iodine tablets can be used to block the uptake of radioactive iodine. Stable iodine should be used only in the case of an emergency with release of radioactive iodine. Potassium iodide (KI) is generally used as stable iodine tablets for that purpose.
