The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued guidance on the dosage and effectiveness of KI. The NRC supplies KI tablets, in accordance with FDA dosing guidelines, to States that request it for populations within the 10-mile EPZ of a nuclear power plant. The population within the 10-mile EPZ is at the greatest risk of exposure to radioactive iodine. Evacuation, along with removing potentially contaminated food products from the market, essentially eliminates the risk from further radioactive iodine exposure to the thyroid. However, prophylactic use of KI may be recommended by States as a supplement to evacuation or sheltering in place. For populations outside of the 10-mile EPZ the major risk of radioiodine exposure is from ingestion of contaminated foodstuffs, particularly milk products. Both the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the FDA have published guidance to protect consumers from contaminated foods. These protective actions are preplanned in the 50-mile ingestion pathway EPZ, and can be implemented in a timely and effective manner. Therefore, supplemental KI is not recommended for populations outside of the 10-mile EPZ but within the 50-mile ingestion pathway EPZ. Remember, in the unlikely event of a nuclear power plant accident, follow instructions from your State or local government in order to make sure protective actions, such as evacuation, shelter-in-place, or taking potassium iodide pills (if applicable), are implemented safely and effectively for the affected population.
