THYROID BLOCKING 2 EXHIBIT 1 Radiological Assessment Coordinator Checklist Initials 1.0 Determine if one or more individuals have received an uptake of radioiodine resulting in a thyroid committed dose equivalent (CDE) of greater than or equal to (25 REM). Consult with the Medical Representative on the benefits of administering stable iodine (KI).
NOTE The Thyroid Dose to an individual may be determined as follows:
A. Using an air sample, the thyroid dose is calculated as 25 mrem per DAC-hr.
B. Having the individual get a whole body count if the whole body counter is available. The whole body counter software will calculate the thyroid dose.
NOTE Potassium iodide is not to be used in lieu of proper respiratory protection (i.e., as a prophylactic).
Potassium iodide is only to be used to block the thyroid gland shortly after accidental or unavoidable inhalation or ingestion of radioiodine.
2.0 If the decision is to administer stable iodine, (KI) arrange for an escort to transport the exposed individual(s) to the Medical Representative's location, if needed.
3.0 Arrange for a bioassay to be performed on each exposed individual of concern after issuance or refusal of the thyroid blocking agent.

THYROID BLOCKING 2 EXHIBIT 4 THYROID BLOCKING AGENT PRECAUTIONS HOW POTASSIUM IODIDE WORKS Certain forms of iodine help your thyroid gland work right. Most people get the iodine they need from foods, like iodized salt or fish. The thyroid can "store" or hold only a certain amount of iodine.
In a radiation emergency, radioactive iodine may be released in the air. This material may be breathed or swallowed. It may enter the thyroid gland and damage it. The damage would probably not show itself for years. Children are most likely to have thyroid damage.
If you take potassium iodide, it will fill-up your thyroid gland with non radioactive iodine. This reduces the chance that radioactive iodine will enter the thyroid gland.
WHO SHOULD NOT TAKE POTASSIUM IODIDE The only people who should not take potassium iodide are people who know they are allergic to iodide. You may take potassium iodide even if you are taking medicines for a thyroid problem (for example, a thyroid hormone or anti-thyroid drug). Pregnant and nursing women and babies and children may also take this drug.
HOW AND WHEN TO TAKE POTASSIUM IODIDE Potassium Iodide should be taken as soon as possible after medical personnel tell you. You should take one dose every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. More will not help you because the thyroid can "hold" only limited amounts of iodine. Larger doses will increase the risk of side effects. You will probably be told not to take the drug for more than 10 days.
SIDE EFFECTS Usually, side effects of potassium iodide happen when people take high doses for a long time. You should be careful not to take more than the recommended dose or take it for longer than you are told. Side effects are unlikely because of the low drug dose and the short time you will be taking the drug.
Possible side effects include skin rashes, swelling of the salivary glands, and "iodism" (metallic taste, burning mouth and throat, sore teeth and gums, symptoms of a head cold, and sometimes stomach upset and diarrhea).
A few people could have an allergic reaction with more serious symptoms. These could be fever and joint pains, or swelling of parts of the face and body at times severe shortness of breath (EPIP44/S6) E4-1
