I think PI is only good for a reactor leak, I don't think a nuke bomb produces much radioactive Iodine as a detonation by-product. |

The TSA, banking regulations, internet monitoring, warrant-less wire taps and housing American citizens in overseas military prisons were all put in place without much question as a result of the attack on the WTC and the Pentagon. One can only imagine what the government would enact as a result of multiple radiological terrorist attacks on US soil. |

Quoted: I think PI is only good for a reactor leak, I don't think a nuke bomb produces much radioactive Iodine as a detonation by-product. It doesn't produce any unless there is radioactive iodine already in it. Dirty bombs are just conventional explosives which spread some type of radioactive material all over the place. They're really more to freak people out than cause mass casualties; I highly doubt Al-Qaeda could get highly radioactive material past the net of passive scanners which have been installed all over the US. |

They don't need a dirty bomb or materials to build a bomb because there are still 16 Russian " Backpack" Nukes that are unaccounted for somewhere in this world.

Quoted: Doesn't PI only protect against thyroid cancer? Indirectly. PI (or rather, KI), floods your thyroid with non-radioactive iodine so that it won't pick up any of the highly radioactive I-131 that floats around after a fissile explosion, thus preventing thyroid damage. With dirty bombs, it's not an issue. |

Radioactive iodine is a fission product that would be released in case of a nuclear accident with radioactive release. The thyroid gland has an affinity for iodine. When you take the KI pill (yes, KI as K is the atomic symbol for potassium), it saturates your thyroid gland so that it cannot absorb any more iodine, therefore you won't get thyroid cancer since your thyroid can't absorb radioactive iodine.
For those who care. Beat by a minute and a half. |

Quoted: How much more damage does a dirty bomb do than a conventional bomb? Is it more psychological? The actual physical damage done by a dirty bomb depends on how powerful the explosive was. The radioactive material adds nothing to the blast. The real value of a dirty bomb is scattering radioactive material all over the place and contaminating a large area. Even if the radiation levels are relatively low it will cause mass panic and prevent the use of the contaminated area for months, if not years. There are people who still are freaked out about a tiny radiation leak at Three Mile Island. Just scattering a couple of millicuries worth of uranium in downtown New York would cause a mass hysteria. Manhattan would become a ghost town. |

Quoted:
How much more damage does a dirty bomb do than a conventional bomb? Is it more psychological? A dirty bomb lacks the concussion blast and initial massive release of gamma rays and neutrons that a nuclear weapon produces. It does however spread radioactive material over a fairly large area. Enough to irradiate an entire city and leave it inhospitable for years. |

And if they fail to detect a real signal in time, millions could be killed. |

For those who care. Beat by a minute and a half. To add to that... Iodine 131 has a half life of 8 days, so you would need enough potassium iodine for about 2 weeks to be safe. After that, most of the Iodine 131 in the atmosphere should have transmuted into an element less radioactive. |
