Inhaltsangabe

Radioactive iodines are produced by nuclear power plants and the detonation of nuclear weapons, and exposure can lead to thyroid cancers and other thyroid diseases because the thyroid gland concentrates and stores iodine from the blood. Particularly vulnerable are infants, children, adults under 40, and pregnant or lactating women. Doses can be limited by administering stable iodines such as potassium iodide (KI) a few hours at most after exposure. This report, written in response to the congressional mandate of Public Law 107-188, Section 127, gives the benefits and risks of distribution and administration of stable iodines after an event, the implementation issues related to KI distribution and stockpile programs, and the additional research needed. Appendices include fission product inventories, and samples of public communication messages. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
