Health authorities in the southern Iranian city of Bushehr, home to the country's only nuclear power plant, have distributed 180,000 iodine tablets to residents as part of a crisis preparedness plan.
The tablets protect the population from ingesting radioactive iodine, a common byproduct of a nuclear power plant explosion and leak, which accumulates in the thyroid.
Priority was given to areas around the nuclear power plant, before expanding to cover the entire city.
Residents are advised to take the tablets 24 hours before to four hours after potential exposure, with one tablet per person, although the dosage varies depending on age.
