Dear Mr. Hoyle,
2 As a physician concerned about the aftermath of a nuclear melkoih at tb nearby San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant and the possibility of nuclear emergency caused by the Navy's proposed Mixed Waste facility and plans to homepon nuclear caniers in San Diego, I write in support of PRM-50 63. Potassium Iodide should be stockpiled and kept ready for immediate use in this at. risk geographic area to prevent -
malignant changes to the thyroid gland, particularly in children. Although immediate administration of KI would not mitigate many or even most of the dangers of nuclear.
mishap,it is an inexpensive and safe measure that certainly should be implemented in this region. In fact, given the proof that we have long had of the efficacity of this measure, such a program is long overdue.
Information about this progum needs to be more widely disseminated so that more communities and health care workers can joir. in the discussion, so I would also call for an extension of the deadline for comments to be received on the subject.
Sincerely, 0
