Reactors produce radioactive iodine when uranium is split, and if released to the environment, it is absorbed by the body through eating contaminated food or simply through inhalation, and it is concentrated in the thyroid, like ordinary iodine. Potassium iodide protects the thyroid by saturating it, blocking the absorption of the radioactive variety.

Credit Division Service "It's hard to understand their motivation for not taking this relatively easy, relatively inexpensive, highly effective approach," Mr. Morris said of the government. "It was the most important thing the Soviets did after Chernobyl."

Card Credit Online Service The scientific report ordered by Congress said radioiodine could be a problem in a release from a power plant. It would also be created by a nuclear weapon explosion, but that would not be a top problem in such an event, it said. Experts also say radioiodine would probably not be an ingredient in a "dirty bomb," a package of radioactive material dispersed with a conventional explosive, because such material has a very short half life, losing half its strength every eight days.
