During a severe radiation emergency, it is ESSENTIAL that one be able to:
- Measure radiation levels
- Measure accumulated radiation dose
- Protect your thyroid gland from radioactive iodine
- Understand radiation shelter/shielding concepts
To exclusively rely upon emergency response organizations for such information, resources and guidance is a strategy full of risk. An area or escape route deemed safe one moment, can become highly dangerous the next with a simple change in wind direction.
While it is strongly recommend that you FOLLOW OFFICIAL GUIDANCE, prudence and logic dictates having the ability to VERIFY critical information and protect one's self and family, particularly within an a densely populated urban environment. |

With domestic nuclear terrorism a clear and present threat, exclusively depending on others to monitor, evaluate, warn and advise you, in a rapidly developing nuclear emergency, is high-risk. Having on-hand an some method of accurately measuring radiation levels is cheap family insurance and, like major medical insurance, is purchased with the hope of never having to use it. Also, like any real insurance, it'll be near impossible to get it after the fact! Inexpensive, accurate radiation detection devices are available via the internet. One source can be found by clicking here.
The following links display extensive information on radiological and nuclear emergency response, radiation survey techniques and an in-depth study on survival in a nuclear emergency. Take some time and learn. The concepts are not difficult.

The clear majority of casualties from a nuclear accident / radiation emergency result from exposure to and/or ingestion of radioactive iodine (radioiodine, 131I, Iodine-131).
Like normal iodine from table salt, radioactive iodine is collected, and stored, by the human thyroid gland. Over time, the thyroid is exposed to destructive doses of radiation, resulting in thyroid cancer, amongst other similarly dreadful ailments. Children are the greatest risk population, though the threat to the remainder of the population is very real.
Potassium Iodide, if taken in time, saturates the thyroid with a safe, stable form of Iodine, resulting in radioiodine being cleared from the body via the kidneys. Potassium Iodide is safe, stable and FDA approved for over the counter sale. It can easily be purchased via the internet. One source can be found by clicking here.
The following links display extensive information from official organizations on the use of potassium iodide during nuclear and radiation emergencies.
