One nice thing about being old, I don’t need to buy potassium iodide tabs any more. They say not to bother if you’re over 50, the cancer won’t catch up to you in time.
So I guess I’m on the radiation cleanup crew if it comes down to it.
But don’t stockpile iodine for water purification, household bleach is cheap and doesn’t permanently fuck up the flavor of the water
I’m “lucky” (Also I’m overall very pro-nuclear, don’t let those sarcasm quotes give anyone the wrong impression) that I live in the evacuation zone for a nuclear plant, so my county distributes potassium iodide for residents in this area (for anyone paying enough attention to put their name on the list to have it sent to you or to stop by the office to pick it up) so that’s one thing I don’t really have to put any money or effort into stockpiling.
I’m not particularly concerned about the plant, and I’m not in an area that’s likely to get nuked if WWIII really gets going, though I may need to worry about fallout depending on the wind.
