Protection Measures in the Event of Radiological Emergency 4.1. Iodine Prophylactics 31. Iodine prophylactics shall be performed shortly before the possible release or spread of radioactive substances from the object into the environment or immediately thereafter, in order to reduce the harmful effect of ionising radiation on the health of those residents who may be under the threat of a radiological emergency and on the health of the residents who have suffered in a radiological emergency. Iodine preparations (potassium iodide tablets, 5 % potassium iodide solution) shall be used, taking into account recommendation of the Centre, upon the instruction of the Rescue Service in accordance with the attached instruction regarding the use of iodine preparations.

State-wide training on protection measures and the practical implementation thereof – once every four years; 67.5. citywide, parish wide and district wide training on protection measures and the practical implementation thereof in the area of emergency protection measures (within a distance of 30 km from the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant) and the area of long-term protection measures (within a distance of 100 km from the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant) – once every three years. 6. Request and Receipt of International Assistance 68. The Centre in co-operation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs shall request assistance from the International Atomic Energy Agency if due to radiological emergency: 68.1. it is necessary to perform wide protection measures of residents and the environment in a populated area in Latvia where there are 5000 residents or more; 68.2. a territory, which is larger than 100 km 2 has been polluted; 68.3. medical treatment institutions are not able to ensure the care and medical treatment of all victims of a radiological emergency; 68.4. it is impossible to perform the required protection measures. 69. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in co-operation with the Rescue Service and the Centre shall co-ordinate the receipt of international assistance.
