Yuki, 

There are new classes of radiation medicine that are indicated as being far more effective with different types of radiation exposures.  These medications are in various stages of FDA approval.  

I will inquire as to what can be provided as public information now. 

Where do we stand in terms of the request to U.S. Ambassador from Dr. Nagawa for potassium iodide?

Yuki-san, 

There is extensive stockpiles of potassium iodide, plus some new radiation medications only partially approved by the FDA that could be made available on an experimental basis.  The new drugs are far more effective on certain types of radiation exposure.  

We will need a request from the Japanese government to proceed on providing potassium iodide stockpiles.  The commercially-available stocks are no gone given the fear-driven behaviors of the American public and profit-motivated behaviors of speculators in the U.S. given the announcements of the radiation cloud going over the U.S.
