An analysis of potassium iodide (KI) prophylaxis for the general public in the event of a nuclear accident
- S. Cohen & Associates, Inc., McLean, VA (United States)
- Scientech, Inc., Rockville, MD (United States)
A generic difficulty encountered in cost-benefit analyses is the quantification of major elements that define the costs and the benefits in commensurate units. In this study, the costs of making KI available for public use, and the avoidance of thyroidal health effects predicted to be realized from the availability of that KI (i.e., the benefits), are defined in the commensurate units of dollars.
