Hope i am safe here to voice my irrational worries. I am a neurotic prepper who finds ‘being ready for anything’ actually calming. There have been a few scenarios on my list that I haven’t prepped for since i felt they were a bit too far fetched, but this Coronavirus pandemic has taught me anything is possible.
So i am thinking about nuclear reactor failure. We live 20miles downwind, my research shows that governments will advise giving children stable iodine, Potassium iodide, within 24hr of exposure. The governments failure to provide PPE has shown me that this govt wont have ready supplies of iodine.
Does anybody know a way of buying potassium iodide from a reliable source. I don’t want to buy from eBay as i may be buying fake and i really need it to be the real thing.
I also would not give it to my children unless the threat is real as i am aware of serious reactions to the chemical in some children.
The people living within 1km of reactors have already been issued these tablets but there are some calls to issue to people living 30km as we have ageing reactors in the U.K.
Thank you
