Potassium Iodide (KI) and/or Potassium Iodate (KIO3) are now being stockpiled by most developed countries for future nuclear emergencies, except for here in the USA.
There are two kinds of Potassium Iodide (KI) solutions that can be made.
See Potassium Iodide (KI) stability report below here.

GRAMS of Potassium Iodide (what one KI adult dose tablet contains) would require ingesting 250 teaspoons or over 5 cups of iodized salt per day!
HOW POTASSIUM IODIDE WORKS Certain forms of iodine help your thyroid gland work right.
Potassium iodide is the same chemical used to add iodine to table salt, but the pills contain higher doses.

Potassium Iodide, commonly know as KI, is used to protect the thyroid gland in the event of a radiation release, but it does not offer overall protection from exposure.
Potassium iodide (KI) is an over-the-counter medication approved by the FDA.

Potassium iodide, if taken prior to the passage of the radioactive plume, saturates the thyroid gland with non-radioactive iodine and blocks the uptake of radioactive iodine so that it can be excreted.
A potassium iodide pill given near the time of radiation exposure floods the gland with safe iodine and reduces or eliminates the absorption of radioactive iodine.
Potassium iodide blocks thyroid uptake of radioactive iodine.
