About nuclear incidents
Radiological incidents are managed through distance, shielding and time. Iodine prophylaxis addresses only one isotope and is not a general protective measure.
Safety guidance
- Go inside, stay inside, stay tuned — distance and shielding matter most in the first hours.
- Do not take iodine tablets unless authorities specifically instruct it.
- Remove outer clothing and shower if you were outdoors during a release.
