Exposure to radioiodine can lead to radiation injury to the thyroid, including thyroid cancer. Radiation to the thyroid from radioiodine can be limited by taking a nonradioactive iodine such as potassium iodide. This book assesses strategies for the distribution and administration of potassium iodide in the event of a nuclear incident.
