Since you've not searched ebay to see if there's any available cheap to sell on like I have, and you don't have access to google.
quote:
Q: Long term stability of stocked KI03?
A: Jerome A. Halperin, Executive Vice President-CEO of The United States Pharmacopeial Convention, Inc., wrote to the Chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission on January 30, 1998 of a recent assay of 'expired' KI03 tablets.
The Thyro-Block Tablets (Potassium Iodate Tablets, USP, Lot T242N, Exp. November 89), after the USP Drug Research and Testing Laboratory analyzed samples, showed that approximately 11 years after their manufacture and eight years after their expiry date, the tablets assayed at 99.1% of the labeled content of Potassium Iodate. (This result was well within the rubric range of 92.5 to 107.5% required by the monograph.)
(Mr. J. Halperin should know what he is talking about. In 1979, while deputy director of the Bureau of Drugs of the Food and Drug Administration, he had directed the effort to get Potassium Iodate Solution, USP, manufactured and stockpiled in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania during the Three Mile Island incident!)
Also, in conversations with one of the largest Potassium Iodate manufacturers in the U.S., they shared that the shelf-life of their USP grade KI03, in their original factory drums, was 'indefinite', when kept dry and at room temperature or below. Furthermore, that the shelf-life of their USP grade KI03 dissolved into a water solution contained in a closed, dark colored, bottle at room temperature or below, was also 'indefinite'. It's expected that mandatory USP expiration dating will have them revising these downward some publicly, but the point is, properly stored, KI03 is inherently very stable.

I was tempted to buy a Geiger counter once to add to the pile of never used gadgets that I own.
They will probably be about 1000% more on eBay now

all transport will stop due to lack of fuel and money, petrol stations will of been attacked in the riots.

Other thought, now we're all focusing on cuffing Libya, they're STILL having earthquakes on a daily basis out in Japan.
Two 6.3s so far today
