ALERT! US GOV Stockpiling 14 Million CHILDREN's Doses of Potassium Iodide "ThyroSafe"

The Department of Health and Human Services has an order out for 14,000,000 children's doses of Potassium Iodide, "ThyroSafe" brand, for February 1st delivery; price quotes are due by 12/23/13. Based on other Government possibly jointly related to H7N9 pandemic preparations, it appears that this stockpile is being readied for emergency delivery to Pacific Rim Island locations (more on that in a follow-up post)

Potassium Iodide (PI) is a thyroid blocker. It is used to prevent the thyroid from absorbing radioactive iodine. PI works by filling up the thyroid with iodine, thereby preventing any further absorption of iodine.

The quantity being ordered is 700,000 packages of 20 tablets each. Each tablet contains 65mg of Potassium Iodide. 65mg is a child's dose, the adult dose is double that amount. These specifications clearly indicate that this stockpile is for civilian purposes.  Last year the military had an order out for approximately 1 million doses of "iOSAT" (the adult dosage)

The quantity and dosage being order is sufficient to offer US Pacific Island protectorates (but not Hawaii)  roughly 20 days protection from radioactive iodine produced from a Fukushima fuel pool failure. In a nuclear war scenario 10 days protection is called for as the majority of radioIodines will have decayed within 10days after the blast. However, the Fukushima catastrophe is a continuously producing source of radioIodides; and as such, a fuel pool failure can produce massive amounts of radioactive Iodine for weeks, months, and years.


iOSAT and ThyroSafe make good Christmas stocking stuffers they are relatively cheap at $6 for 14 adult doses of iOSAT and $13 for 20 children's doses of ThyroSafe.  Both should last indefinitely if stored well, their printed shelf lives are 6 years. Amazon seems to have the best prices on both items, alternatively direct order from the manufacturer is advisable for the longest shelf life. But be aware that, the massive order from HHS may make ThyroSafe unattainable for some time period.

Maximum Jet Stream Alert, STAY OUT OF THE RAIN!

We are extending our Maximum Alert to stay out of the Jet Stream and rain for the following reasons.

(1) Recent large Iodine 131 detections in Japan
(2) Multiple individual reports of high AIRBORNE radiation along the Jet Stream
(3) EPA Radnet data showing high, multi hour, AIRBORNE radiation

Given our own readings on 6/4/12 of airborne radiation 5 times greater than normal levels, we consider this a prudent risk mitigation move.


We consider it imperative to STAY OUT OF THE RAIN, and to use home HEPA air filters.

Live in San Francisco? You Inhaled 75 MILLION Plutonium Atoms In Just 4 days

In order to make the EPA's Plutonium 239 detection from March 15- March 18, 2011 understandable in terms people could visualize, we calculated the distributed average number of Pu-239 atoms inhaled by EVERY single person in the Bay area during that time period. We also discuss the other radioactive elements detected, and how the EPA's detection of Iodine-133 is especially troubling.

We hope the video will give people additional insight into the topic of "Hot Particles". For links to the charts shown and the associated assumptions and ground rules please follow the link below to the original blog post on this subject from April 2011:

AS PREDICTED: European RADIOACTIVE IODINE Detected After Solar CORONAL MASS EJECTION

  ALERT: North America may have been on the sunlit side of this CME, hence greater levels of Iodine might be expected.  

Correction, a check of the Daylight maps indicates that Russia southwards to Australia and New Zealand were under daylight conditions during the CME.

As predicted by the POTRBLOG team on January 21st. "The evidence for such effects would be distributed and difficult to localize detections of fresh radioactive fallout" .

Radioactive Iodine is now being reported to have been detected in Europe during the time period in question. We expect that there will also be evidence of Plutonium 239 spallation.   
See the detection report here:

News from the BarentsObserver

Measures radioactive iodine in Barents Region

The Barents news report indicates that iodine detections where in the NORTHERN Norway and NORTHERN Sweden. Under typical geomagnetic conditions Protons from Coronal Mass Ejections are directed towards the Earth's Poles, hence these might be expected to produce the first reports of radioactive iodines created by the spallation of Cesium 133 by Solar Protons.

ALERT- Solar Flare Interaction with High Atomic Weight Fukushima Fallout

There is a full halo Earth directed Solar Coronal Mass Ejection inbound, estimated to impact on the 1/21/12. The CME event will interact with high atomic weight fallout (both radioactive and NON-radioactive) in the upper atmosphere and produce a witches' brew of new radioactive fallout via nuclear spallation processes. The extent to which this will occur is difficult to determine without access to advanced simulation models, however previous such occurrences have correlated with the detections of radioiodines over Europe.

If the expected effects do occur, they will be most strongly be felt on the sunlit side of the planet. The evidence for such effects would be distributed and difficult to localize detections of fresh radioactive fallout. On the dark side of the planet the effects would produce unusual colors in the Northern Lights and greater penetration into the Southern Latitudes. An early arrival of effect should not be ruled out either.

UPDATE 1/23/12
The following photos from the SOHO space observatory shows the "snow" impacts of Protons on the Camera's CCD. When these Protons impact the non-radioactive Cesium 133 in the upper atmosphere they will spall out a host of radioactive iodines. The Cs-133 comes from the decay of Xenon-133 gas. Xe-133 is one of the primary most plentiful components of the fallout from Fukushima

European Iodine 131 IZOTOP Blame Game Does Not Explain Airborne Fission Products

The airborne detections of Cs-134, Ru-103, Co-60, and Ce-144 are NOT explained by the IZOTOP Iodine 131 release.

The IAEA has blamed the Institute of Isotopes Co., Ltd (IZOTOP) for the recent European Iodine 131 detections; IZOTOP claims that they could not have been the sole source for the Iodine 131.

The publicly available data tends to support IZOTOP's position. A report from the Hungarian National Atomic Energy Agency verifies that IZOTOP was producing Iodine 131 by adding a neutron to Tellurium. That process would not create the fission products detected, nor would it explain the presence of Cobalt-60.

The detections of Cs-134, Ru-103,and Ce-144 indicate a high temperature fission process. Since these are fission products, the presence of Iodine 131, Te-132, I-132, Cs-137 would also be expected in the airborne detections. The 39 day half life of Ru-103 and its AIRBORNE detection makes an APRIL 2011 direct Fukushima release source questionable. An ongoing Fukushima release would be plausible, but it would also be readily directionally attributable.

One would expect IZOTOP's manufacturing process to avoid the creation of these extra fission elements as they would be expensive to remove from the medical Iodine 131 they were creating (not to mention the disposal costs). Moreover, the additional detected fission elements are not volotiale at room temperature like Iodine 131. Those other radioactive materials would have had to come from a high temperature source in order to be volatilized and found airborne. There is much more going on with the European Iodine 131 detections than has been let on by the authorities; the reasons why one can only guess at.

The POTRBLOG SWAG has been that the cosmogenic spallation of high atomic weight Fukushima fallout is a possible source of such distributed fallout. Much like the European fallout detection, it would be very difficult to pinpoint a specific point-source location for such fallout. Unfortunately we lack the tools and budget to quantify the likelihood of such a cosmogenic spallation event; HOWEVER, we find it very interesting that early on during the event someone in authority did let slip to the British media that a cosmogenic event was responsible.

Can the IAEA Blame the Institute of Isotopes Co., Ltd for the OTHER Fission Products Too?

Update 11/18/11:

Further research indicates that there is more going on at the Institute of Isotopes than just meeting medical isotope needs; it appears as if they also do research on prompt fission products of U235. That being the case, if IoI is the sole cause of the European I-131 detections, then the Iodine 131 was possibly less than ONE PERCENT nuclear frappe of radioactive isotopes released from the facility during the time period in question.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original post


The IAEA seems to have laid the blame of the expansive European Iodine 131 detections at the door step of the Hungarian company Institute of Isotopes Co., Ltd. The company does admit to releasing about 300 thyroid killing doses; and God help anyone who was caught in a downwind rainstorm during that release, but putting the finger on IoI co. does NOT explain the detection of the other FISSION products.

It makes no economic sense for the company to produce I-131 via fission; they likely were manufacturing I-131 by neutron bombardment of Tellurium, and a leak in a fume-hood or filter could explain some of the I-131 detections. It might also explain the Cobalt-60 detections, if they were also making a production run of that product during the same time period. But, blaming the airborne detections of Cs-134, C-137, Te-132, I-132, Ru-103, and Ce-144  on the  Institute of Isotopes Co., Ltd. makes absolutely no cents or dollars because using a process that creates those type of fission contaminants to make Iodine 131 would NOT be cost effective.

The IAEA may have claimed to have fingered the location of the Pink Panther and the case to be closed, but the real evidence dictates otherwise.

European Iodine 131 And Cobalt 60 Fallout- A Romanian Reactor CANDU That

As the POTRBLOG team was researching the current widespread and unattributed European Iodine 131 outbreak and its potential creation via the spallation of atmospheric Fukushima Plutonium 239 by Solar Coronal Mass Ejections, we discovered one small tidbit of information that could be the fingerprint of a a fuel-rod meltdown common to a CANDU-6 reactor.

The CANDU link is small and tenuous. But it is worth mentioning given that Cobalt 60 has been detected in the European fallout, and that Cobalt 60 would be produced from the meltdown of a CANDU fuelrod. The only CANDU reactor in Europe is located in Cernavodă Romania, due east of some of the strongest fallout detections in Slovenia.

However, given that the connection to Romania would be so obvious, it is hard to imagine that the IAEA would not quickly identify the source. The possible connection to Romania is explored at the end of the above video.

European Iodine 131 Detections Indicative of Atmospheric Plutonium 239 Concentrations

The European Iodine 131 detections are a possible indicator of how much Plutonium 239 is in the upper atmosphere; for that reason alone it is EXTREMELY unlikely that the true source and cause of those Iodine 131 detections will ever be revealed.

The POTRBLOG team has warned since early April 2011 that Solar Coronal Mass Ejections impacting both Radioactive AND Non-Radioactive high atomic weight Fukushima fallout in the upper atmosphere could generate a witches' brew of "Fresh" radioactive iodine fallout across the sunlit side of the Northern Hemisphere.

EUROPEAN Radioactive IODINE Spallation PREDICTED by POTRBLOG

European radioactive iodine detections were predicted by POTRBLOG team as a consequence of the interaction of Coronal Mass Ejections with  Fukushima Fallout (both radioactive and non-radioactive).

The POTRBLOG team has alerted since April that the "Northern Lights" have the capability to spall a witches' brew of radioactive iodines over the sun lit side of the northern hemisphere. On October 24 a solar storm struck, with eastern Europe on the sun lit side of the storm. At the time the POTRBLOG team predicted "a step function jump in detections across the globe that could not be readily explained by via other means" would be a good indicator of such an event.

The current European detection MAY be indicative of the predicted Coronal Mass Ejection > Fukushima Fallout interactions warned of by the POTRBLOG team. HOWEVER, the data is not yet conclusive; confirming elements to look for would be the detection of other unusual radioactive iodines and fallout, dispersed in a manner that DOES NOT INDICATE A SPECIFIC POINT SOURCE. Making such a determination may be
made more difficult by outlying surrounding the events which are tied to point events like Fukushima.

However, we at POTRBLOG do not expect such an analysis to be made available for public consumption, as the confirmation of this event could induce wide spread anxiety as the situation continues for decades. In fact, it is more likely that public sources would confirm that the event was caused by a thyroid cancer afflicted deer hunter who happened to urinate off of his/her tree stand during a deer hunt; with the wind intercepting, and dispersing,  the I-133 laden urine across Europe before the tinkle could even hit the roses on the forest floor- a real Jägermeister indeed!
