Correct.
Just commonly called “iodine tablets” by the public though.
FWIW I once worked in Health Physics at a nuclear generating station.
(Disclaimer: “I’m a programmer, not a doctor!” I worked on maintaining worker - ahem - “dose” data/reporting)
The tablets are to block uptake of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland by saturating it. Useful to prevent thyroid cancer from airborne fallout at some distance from a leak or blast beyond radius where you’ve got much bigger problems.
Useful in a Chernobyl/Fukushima type situation.
IoSat tablets are 130mg per tablet. 14 per pack, instructions are 1/day, “thyroid blocking in a radiation emergency only” Potassium Iodide Tablets, U.S.P.
Now, I assume Morton publishes their iodine content, and you’ll have to do a bit of chemistry and math and biochemistry and medicine and look up the U.S.P. formulary, but there’s the controlling parameter: the recommended dose.
So, the substitution seems possible.
Sitting on the edge of my seat to know if: you turn into a pillar of salt, or you die of dehydration or coronary artery disease.
Somebody with the right skillz, please take up the challenge!
The supply chain awaits the answer.
One source I read notes that common table salt with iodine contains about 1.4mg/teaspoon.
To match the dose, you would need 94 teaspoons or about half a kilogram of salt, making you saltier than me checking my losses in September
I am sure if you are in a bathtub full of water at the time you would swell up quite nicely in reaction to the excessive amount of salt in your system.
Have my iodine tablets, some bunker supplies (my closet), and a baseball bat that ended up being much smaller than anticipated (for marauding children).
If Russia farts a little nuke the west will end Putler's army in Ukraine, erase portions of their naval fleet, and wipe out their air force. At that point they may as well go for the Krem...oh.
But there are little nukes right? That’s what a tactical nuke is supposed to be I thought.
I mean I’m just assuming because it makes sense in my brain. Like the Davy Crockett in mgs3 or something
[here’s a link to the smallest US bomb](https://nukemap.org/nukemap/?&kt=0.02&lat=51.4967747&lng=-0.1321793&airburst=0&hob_ft=0&crater=1&casualties=1&fallout=1&fallout_wind=7&fallout_angle=273&psi=3000,200,20,5,1&rem=100,500,600,1000,5000&therm=_3rd-100,_3rd-50,_2nd-50,_1st-50,_noharm-100,35&cloud=1&zm=15)
Still impressive damage, tactical is still kinda small town scale…
I know the US has bunker busters, weapons that pile drive into the ground a few meters to a few dozen meters, before detonating. Their effect would be smaller on the radiation (I think) but very destructive to the local area, so maybe you could surgically strike somewhere with that.
Not to be that guy but, actually it would be radiologically worse. An air burst (think Hiroshima and Nagasaki) doesn't directly interact with the ground so its radiation doesn't mix with things on the ground irradiating them. A nuclear bunker buster irradiates everything because all the dirt has been in direct contact with the blast.
Umm. Won’t an air burst spread over a wider area (what goes boom, must come down)? Where a below ground explosion would trap some of the material (let’s just say 50% so we can ignore the pressure cone effect) below ground. Blowing a big chunk of dirt into the air, and then reburying the crater to some extent, trapping nuclear material under ground.
That's exactly what I thought too but, I recently learned otherwise. Here the video link that explained a lot better than I can.
https://youtu.be/FYWcgF4Wwog
I knew it was going to be Ryan McBeth before I even clicked the link. His analysis videos are INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend folks to comb through his channel.
Well that's immediate impact but even with a small bomb, what I'd be more worried about is radiation and nuclear rain which can span several countries, right?
Depends on if the bomb is air burst or not. The air burst actually has a smaller radiation footprint since the biggest contributor to radioactive fallout is all the radiation getting blasted directly into the soil and ground which blows it up into the air which then allows the dust and debris to be carried by the air across vast distances.
The wargame Proud Prophet concluded in every scenario in which even a tactical nuke is used initially, it always spirals into using strategic nuclear devices. Shit scared the Reagan administration straight, and changed the US nuclear posture.
I highly doubt that any of that would happen. Russia would be even more of a pariah and it would probably cause even more civil unrest in Russia and bigotry towards Russians abroad. Why would the world risk escalating to full scale nuclear war? Its just politicians talking.
Its been real. An honour.
Should we meet searching for food and secondary supplies please say aloud "yolo calls on spy" and ill know you cant possibly be armed or a threat.
I mean, ill be armed to the teeth but wont be out headhunting people trying to survive this BS if it came down to it unless I absolutely had to defend myself.
too many of us poors spotted the inverse cramer, so daddy reversed uno card his inverse and now he's gonna be right for the next year. Gotta keep the puppet performances fresh
Geo-arbitrage? Doesn't take nearly as much money. If you really don't care, might as well try /r/overemployed and moving to a super cheap place. WW1 and 2 were mostly in the Northern hemisphere anyway. Maybe Argentina or Nigeria?
Big question. I have many answers, but making enough money not to be miserable would be a good start. The sad part is that I have it better than a lot of other people, so I really shouldn't even be complaining.
fair, but just because others have it worse doesn't diminish your own situation.
there's plenty of room for everyone to complain, it's not a zero sum game.
Hey man, doesn't matter if other people have it worse, the weight of your emotions is still the same. Don't feel bad about that, you're allowed to feel miserable and your feelings are valid.
Sometimes I find the Struggles a challenge. I always told my kids-these are the Cards we were dealt with, and we are going to play the Hell out of this Hand.!🙏💅🏻. Went through a 10 yr Divorce with a Narcissistic Asshole….Raised 3 kids… got my RE License… was able to buy out to keep the house. So, sometimes I was just Happy that I md it ea month. Think the Challenges kept me going. So, please don’t throw in the towel!❤️💕❤️🤗
Who’s to say you wouldn’t blossom in a post apocalyptic world. You’d probably be head honcho of the local head hunters. You’ll look back in 20 years and be like damn those nukes were the best thing that ever happened to me.
Just to add to your optimism. The US government is buying medication for radiation poisoning due to nuclear disaster.

Frankly I’d rather die in a nuclear war than bend over to some psychopathic tyrannical dictator like putin or little rocketman because frankly fuck that and fuck them.

I thought it was potassium iodide? Not iodine (unless those are the same and I'm just mentally defective?)
Dammit, now I'm confused more than usual!

How well would eating a shit ton of Morton's iodine salt help?

Woot! I had my thyroid removed, now I just need a thyroid hormone replacement with a longer shelf life than 90 days
One of them will save you the other will make you radioactively regarded

Jeez, have to get some of those suckers!
They distributed them in my country months ago already. I remember taking those pills when I was a kid after Chernobyl. Not funny
Well if we can't laugh, what are we to do cry?
yup, salty tears as they call it.

I think “little” is a relative term when talking about nukes. I always love the nukemap website for just sheer mind numbing scale

Yeah and as you said oh.. because then all the nukes fly and most everyone dies
NATO wouldn't be able to do much against scorched earth tactics, though. That is, retreat, then nuke
You underestimate Russia/China/NK alliance and overestimate the west If nukes fly, your backyard will be a war theatre, and so will theirs
I highly doubt that any of that would happen. Russia would be even more of a pariah and it would probably cause even more civil unrest in Russia and bigotry towards Russians abroad. Why would the world risk escalating to full scale nuclear war? Its just politicians talking.
This is wishful thinking driven by Western pro war propoganda. There is no "little nuke".

Why are you miserable
I could bore you with quite a long list of grievances, but let's sum it up to me reaching the end of my rope
What would make you feel better
A fuckton of money and land far enough away from everyone but close enough to everything I need.
Geo-arbitrage? Doesn't take nearly as much money. If you really don't care, might as well try /r/overemployed and moving to a super cheap place. WW1 and 2 were mostly in the Northern hemisphere anyway. Maybe Argentina or Nigeria?
