Recommended Safe (stable) Iodine Dosage For Treating Low Radiation Exposure

Note that radiation levels within the 20 kilometre area must be extremely low for the recommended iodine dose for above 40 years of age to be at zero.

On 16 March, Japan’s Nuclear Safety Commission recommended local authorities to instruct evacuees leaving the 20 kilometre area to ingest stable (not radioactive) iodine. The pills and syrup (for children) had been prepositioned at evacuation centers. The order recommended taking a single dose, with an amount dependent on age:

Baby…………………12.5 mg
1 mo.-3 yrs…………25mg
3-13 yrs……………..38mg
13-40 yrs…………….76mg
40+ yrs………………Not necessary

    “Radiation levels have increased above the federal government’s level in some food products from the Fukushima Prefecture and nearby areas. These levels were detected in samples of milk in Fukushima Prefecture and six samples of spinach in neighboring Ibaraki Prefecture, according to the Japan Atomic Industrial Forum. Edano said that if these products are consumed for a year, the total radiation dose would be equivalent to one CT scan”
