!!! JAPAN must distribute IODINE TABLETES urgently, France experts says !!

France’s CRIIRAD group says Japan has underestimated the sensitivity of the thyroid gland to radioactivity and must lower its 100 millisieverts (mSv) threshold for administering iodine.

Failure to do so quickly could lead to an even higher jump in thyroid cancer cases in coming years than is anticipated, Corinne Castanier told Reuters in an interview on Thursday.

“They should still do it (distribute iodine) now because the contamination continues but it will be less efficient. They have to limit the damage. It’s not too late to act but they have to distribute them as widely and as fast as possible,” she said.
