Lyashko told whether Ukrainians should stock up on iodine-containing drugs

    Ukraine purchased the necessary amount of drugs to protect the thyroid gland in the event of an accident at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

    Health Minister Viktor Lyashko urged Ukrainians not to buy iodine-containing drugs.

    All healthcare facilities in the potential impact area are supplied with this drug. In the regional warehouses of the Ministry, a sufficient amount of the drug is also stored to promptly deliver it to certain regions. There is no need to buy iodine-containing drugs, we have a purchased drug in exactly the dosage recommended by our scientists. There will be enough one pill in the first step. It’s all there,” Ukrinform quotes the minister.

    Zaporozhye NPP on Saturday, August 20, operates with the risk of violation of radiation and fire safety standards.

    Emergency protection at the nuclear power plant already worked on August 5, when the Russian invaders attacked the plant. As a result of the shelling, the nitrogen-oxygen station and the combined auxiliary building were seriously damaged. Then one of the operating power units was turned off. There are still risks of hydrogen leakage and radioactive spraying. There is also a high fire hazard. Energoatom reported this on August 20.

    Residents of settlements near the Zaporozhye NPP began to receive additional tablets of potassium iodide. This drug is able to protect the thyroid gland from the accumulation of radioisotopes of iodine in case of contamination of the area as a result of an accident at nuclear reactors.

    Earlier, scientists from the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Institute of the State Emergency Service and the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine developed a model of how radiation would spread in the event of an accident at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. Weather conditions for August 15-18 were used for the model. Radiation would affect not only Ukraine, but also the countries of Europe.
