The authjor of this post is in error

One of the principal radioactive derivatives of a Nuclear explosion or
thermo nuclear is an isotope of iodine that is radioactive, but otherwise
identical ti ordianry iodine.

Our body ties up iodine in specific quantities in order to assure it's
presence to make a necessary hormone, thyroxine...

It will make it with the FIRST iodine that gets there...if it's iodine from
commercial Potassium iodide (that's not radioactive) it will NOT sequester
additional iodine (radioactive or not) until an iodine deficit develops...

If the body always has a daily supply of non radioactive iodine from such
pills, any contaminant radioactive iodine will be ignored and pass thru the
body rather than concentrated in the thyroid for making thyroxine....

It is the concentration (accumulation in one small spot) that causes thyroid
cancer if that iodine is radioactive

Nukepills are nonsense.
There is no effective protection against radiation and against
some radioactive elements.
(Maybye potassium cyanide will work ;-))
